But on systems that will want to do more impressive audio/visual stuff
sometimes anyway, such as the Nokia N770/N800, wouldn't you want
gstreamer to be loaded and initialized already anyway? Then there
shouldn't (theoretically) be any delay in playing a system beep.

Obviously, for very simple systems even this would be excessive.
