No. On Linux systems, the beep sound is sent directly to the internal 
sound card. I don't understand Linux well enough (maybe someone else can 
comment) but system sounds are not routed to the same place that audio 
clips go to. I've heard of others who could get audio clips to play but 
not system beeps.
