Comment (by lennart):

 Yes this is a race condition. There is no proper access scheme for the
 bell events. I think the logic is that the last program asking for it gets
 the bell events. So if you load PA before compiz then compiz will get
 those events. If you then reload the m-x-b then it will get those events.
 But tbh i don't really think this needs to be fixed. The current scheme is
 good enough.

 Again, the right place to handle this event is probably the WM, not PA.
 (that's because the WM needs to implement visual bell) That's why we don't
 load the module by default in PA.
