Does anyone know a good way to beep the speaker from a CGI script?

I would rather not change permissions of /dev/speaker or use a setuid
script (as when using open("/dev/speaker", O_WRONLY, 0)). Just in case it
matters, the script is written in C.

I am not subscribed to this list so please send responses directly.

Thank you.
