PC Speaker synth for Speakup?

[Alex Snow]

I've heard some programs use the PC speaker before, and there somewhat
understandable.  It depends on the coding.  There used to be this program
for dos that would use the PC speaker to say the time, and some Star Wars
frazes.  It was somewhat understandable, but not todally.
