I had already solved this problem for myself. After some googling I 
found that inserting "insmod pcspkr" or "modprobe pcspkr" in an 
appropriate startup script makes the PC speaker work again for me.
Actually I don't need this anymore, I compiled the PC speaker driver 
into the kernel and it no longer needs to be loaded as a module.

I haven't tried your solution yet, but I suspect it only works if you 
start X and GNOME or gnome-volume-control, and not in console-only mode.

I just think that a "SL_pc_speaker.noarch.rpm" package would be a much 
more user-friendly solution for many users. I think I might even write 
one myself if enough people are interested.
