           Summary: Beep varies in volume, duration and delay
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: g4c9z unb ca


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 3.3.4 20040623 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.4-r1, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6) 
OS:                Linux

I have selected the default system notification for a beep in Konsole, which is to play the  file /usr/kde/3.3/share/sounds/KDE_Beep.ogg.  Sometimes the beep varies in volume level or seems to come out only 1 speaker.  Other times it seems to last only about half as long as usual or less.  I've also noticed it delay a little while before beeping sometimes.  (I tested it by using the down, left and right arrow keys when there's no command typed in).

I don't believe it's my sound card or ALSA (which I'm using) because I opened the file in xmms and tried playing it many times and it was always the same (and the sound started sooner after pressing "Play" too).  So it seems like a problem with Konsole or Arts.
