I dunno, Mark, I had an easy time adding beeps back when I was using Frank van Gestel's IR translation... I never ran into any problems... Is this one of those "1 out of a thousand" race conditions that I might have just not tripped over?

I don't have the source lying around but I got the basic idea from borislav in this thread. Is there a race condition happening there? I think I made some changes to what borislav did, and it seemed to be working okay at the time.

Maybe I'll give beeping a try and if it's working, submit it for inclusion in Hijack. But if there's a race condition in my approach, I won't bother.
