This is in reference to https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50109 Looking at Windows 10, the console 'beep' sound is represented in the registry under the respective key as a path i.e. C:\Windows\media\sound.wav. So the implementation should be as simple as getting the value from this key and calling PlaySound on the retrieved path. Is this the expected way to implement the beep? Also, would it be alright to simply get the .wav files from a Windows 10 install and store them in a windows\media folder when the wine prefix is created or will there be (legal)issues lifting the .wav files from Win10?
