The catch is that the buttons control the overall volume (and
at the lowest-non-mute setting the beeper is still quite loud).

ALSA’s Master and PCM sliders don’t seem to affect the beeper volume
at all, but I can’t make their volume loud enough to overcome the
beeper (and then lower the hardware mixer to acceptable level). :o|
