Well, I was discussing it today with a colleague and I think his arguments are convincing (citation from memory): "From the point of a kernel developer and kernel internal programming it might be better to put it under Input, but the kernel configuration interface is written mostly for end-users who might/will not know about kernel internals, so most people will expect this option under Sound."
Would it be so bad to put it to Drivers->Sound->Misc->PC-Speaker?
