It is there, but Xinside is using an obsoleted interface.  This is the
pcvt part, the syscons implementation is rather similiar.  The
interface itself is featured after SysV, hence the semantics are
somewhat awful:

        case KDMKTONE:
                /* ring the speaker */
                if(data)
                {
                        int duration = *(int *)data >> 16;
                        int pitch = *(int *)data & 0xffff;

                        sysbeep(pitch, duration * hz / 3000);
                }
                else
                {
                        sysbeep(PCVT_SYSBEEPF / 1493, hz / 4);
                }
                return 0;
