speaker(4) is a whimsical thing, but I don't think we should have a

This patch unhooks the driver and the manpage from the build. The
driver is built for alpha, amd64, and i386.
If this patch is applied, I can probably no longer do something like
this?
$ echo -n 'L30cbdcbdcbdP2cbdcbdcbd' > /dev/speaker
If that's the case, then it would be good if we can keep speaker(4).
I have multiple headless systems at home which start to beep under
certain conditions, to alert me.
Does this change mean the system bell will no longer be available, ie:
echo ^G
I would really prefer to NOT lose this, until/unless an alternate
mechanism to route the system bell through the regular sound output
could be added.
Just my $0.02...
