Sounds like a linux distro-specific issue, eg:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/231234
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/486154
Yes, fl_beep() uses XBell() (see src/fl_ask.cxx for the code),
so if you can get XBell to work, fl_beep() will work as well.
Thing is, the above says this was deliberately disabled
by default because as someone put it, "too many applications
are abusing it (ie. bash_completion)".
So in other words, enabling it might drive you insane.
That second link seems rife with information; you'll likely
find a solution in there.
If not, let us know..
