How to redirect console beep with ALSA to a soundcard?

Those ^A's (Ctrl+A) alarms, which beeps on PC-speaker, how one redirects that to some *.wav or *.ogg file, or just "beep" played through ALSA?

hi there

in kernel config there is one option in the kernel of

device driver---->input device support---->PC Speaker support

look out there,if u get ur support

regards

OS is Fedora 2, and yes, there is pcspkr.ko module.
I did # modprobe pcspkr
Syslog got this:

Sep 20 14:08:40 localhost kernel: input: PC Speaker
Sep 20 14:08:41 localhost udev[8990]: configured rule in '/etc/udev/rules.d//50-udev.rules' at line 25 applied, 'event2' becomes 'input/%k'
Sep 20 14:08:41 localhost udev[8990]: creating device node '/udev/input/event2'

What then? How do I now redirect all beeps which would go to PC-speaker to go through soundcard instead?

(Just to make sure, I do not mean to use PC-speaker as a soundcard, but rather use soundcard as a PC-speaker also)

Anyone any ideas?
There used to be some way, other than connecting wires inside the PC-case from PC-speaker to a soundcard, but I seem not to find the page with Google or otherwise anymore.

Two steps
* Find some way for the kernel to send all pc speaker activity to a userland program
* find a program that can play sound.

I found this really old patch (1996)

I'm most interested in disable pc speaker, so this is how to do it on the VTs (anno 2001 2.4.4):
