So, no need to reject the speaker driver for "crap sound". It'll be usable with a good speaker, and the config help text can simply state that it is a last-resort driver which might work badly because it pushes the hardware.

The senseless cpu usage for something as simple as sound is worse. Consider putting a old voice modem on a serial port and connect a speaker to the phone output...
