Subject: Bug#608388: alsa-utils: restore fails after rename from "PC Speaker" to "Beep"

The "PC Speaker" string is sufficiently different to "Beep" that
restoring isn't feasible from within alsactl. We'd need to do some
regex magic in a script.

The default behavior as of newer 2.6.3x is to honor the initial beep
mode, which for many distros is '2'. I haven't checked the Debian
kernels yet to see whether that has been altered.
