Here is how you can access this feature using µRoar (libmuroar):
First you need to open the connection to the server using
muroar_connect(). After you have a working connection you can call
muroar_beep() on it. The connect must not be used with muroar_stream().
After you are done you need to disconnect using muroar_quit().

If you close the connection to the server this will also kill all
currently playing beeps (if any are running).

Example:

 int fh = muroar_connect(NULL, "myApp");
 muroar_beep(fh);
 sleep(1);
 muroar_quit(fh);

(real world programs need to do error checking!)

more complet examples can be found in the µRoar Manual at:
