i've patched the 2.2.x linux kernel a while ago in order for it to have a sound support using only the mobo's pc speaker.
i was amused to hear the "Free Software Song" (both MP3 and Mpeg (video) ) played on its tiny speaker.
the quality? half way between AM & FM Radio (not bad, right?)
well at least, it's good enough for those people who are not allowed have a sound card on their workstations.
and good enough for those embedded PC enthusiast coz it can save them a lot of money by removing the need for additional (on-board) sound chipset & replacing it with a cheap audio amplifier (that is, if they're not after the quality). kung yun mga Talking ATMs nga robotic din ang dating nun quality di ba?
you can even fool your non-tech ofcmates & make them believe that your embedded router/firewall is suffering from some kind of interference from a nearby AM/FM/TV Station. ;)
