Ihave asked the same question long ago. I found some interesting
informations about the way "pulseaudio" works and found some commands
which do the job:

If you really want to hear the beep as an error-signal in the
terminal, you have to type the following commands:

First the command which loads a sound-sample as the bell-sound. 
Replace  "/home/Michael/Sound/ShortBeep.ogg" with a sound file you
like:

        pactl upload-sample /home/Michael/Sound/ShortBeep.ogg bell

Now activate the bell-sound whith the command

        pactl load-module module-x11-bell sample=bell

Now you should hear the sound, if your shell has something to tell
e.g when you press the cursor-right-key at the end of your
command-line ;-)

This doesn't do the trick for the "beep"-command!

I installed the soundplaying command "music123" and defined an alias:

        alias beep='music123 /home/Michael/Sound/ShortBeep.ogg'

Now "beep" is an alias and will do the trick the same way as your
terminal.

Not nice, but it works.

Regards,
Michael
