Take a tour of hell's seedier neighborhoods to try to make winsound.Beep()

Browse source 
do something non-useless on Win9X boxes.  WinME unknown to me.  Someone with
NT/2000 make sure it still works there!

\begin{funcdesc}{Beep}{frequency, duration}
Beep the PC's speaker.
The \var{frequency} parameter specifies frequency, in hertz, of the
sound, and must be in the range 37 through 32,767 (\code{0x25}
through \code{0x7fff}). The \var{duration} parameter specifies the
number of milliseconds the sound should last. If the system is not
sound, and must be in the range 37 through 32,767.
The \var{duration} parameter specifies the number of milliseconds the
sound should last. If the system is not
able to beep the speaker, \exception{RuntimeError} is raised.
\strong{Note:} Under Windows 95 and 98, the arguments are ignored;
if the system has a sound card, the system default sound is played
(typically \file{ding.wav}, or whatever is registered as the default
sound via Control Panel -> Sounds); else (no sound card) the
standard system beep.
\strong{Note:} Under Windows 95 and 98, the Windows \cfunction{Beep()}
function exists but is useless (it ignores its arguments). In rhat
case Python simulates it via direct port manipulation (added in version
2.1). It's unknown whether that will work on all systems.
