This is the text Stephane Ducasse sent in mai 2003 when beginning to
work with Beeper...It this can help to understand what was the issue.
================
Here is what we propose for removing beep from Object. I would like to 
have your feedback.


Object subclass: #Beeper
    instanceVariableNames: ''
    classVariableNames: ''
    poolDictionaries: ''
    category: 'System-Support'!

I'm a simple object been responsible to provide an audible feedback. 
However, the feedback can be change by using my class side method 
setDefault: with an object understanding the message play.

So you can invoke Beeper as follow

    Beeper default beep
    Beeper default play

But the idiom is really Beeper beep

Note that play is introduced to propose a common interface between 
AbstractSound and Beeper.
This way we can have more enhanced beepers doing the following:

SampleSound class>>initialize
    "SampledSound initialize"

    IncrementFractionBits _ 16.
    IncrementScaleFactor _ 2 raisedTo: IncrementFractionBits.
    ScaledIndexOverflow _ 2 raisedTo: 29.  "handle overflow before
needing 
LargePositiveIntegers"
    self useCoffeeCupClink.
    SoundLibrary ifNil: [SoundLibrary _ Dictionary new].
    Beeper setDefault: (self new
                        setSamples: self coffeeCupClink
                        samplingRate: 12000)).


Then Beeper beep will play the coffeeCup sound.
=============

For my part I had a look in BFAV to the SoundSystemCleanup-gk.  I didn¹t
know how to just add this comment within BFAV, the choices in the
Reviewer Notepad don¹t seem to allow it...so...cameback to Mailing...

The time I spent to load everything ...BFAV installer...Refactory
Browser..etc..... and to load 19488 posts....and looking how to operate
BFAV....and having a taste of SoundSystemCleanup...and the time I had is
gone.... But next time will be snappier I hope.
