 = Overview =

 The standard X bell is not suppressed after I load `module-x11-bell`
 during login.  It is correctly suppressed if I subsequently unload and
 reload that module, though.

 = Details =

 I run the following script on login to load up `module-x11-bell`:

 {{{
 #!/bin/sh -e

 pactl upload-sample "$HOME/lib/bell.wav" x11-bell
 pactl load-module module-x11-bell "display=$DISPLAY" sample=x11-bell
 >/dev/null
 xset b 100
 }}}

 The script is actually launched as part of the GNOME autostart system,
 i.e., via a .desktop file in `~/.config/autostart`.

 Once the session is up and going, X bell calls play the expected
 !PulseAudio sample.  However, they also produce the standard X bell at the
 same time.  That is unexpected and inconsistent with
 [wiki:Modules#module-x11-bell the module-x11-bell documentation].

 If I subsequently unload `module-x11-bell`, then we're back to the
 standard X bell and no !PulseAudio sample.  If I then reload
 `module-x11-bell`, the standard X bell is suppressed and I hear only the
 !PulseAudio sample.  That is the expected, documented behaviour, and is
 how things should have behaved the first time the module was loaded.
