I'd like for my Emacs to sometimes ring the bell as usual, sometimes
flash the screen, and sometimes play a sound. Currently, I can change
it to do one of these things in the usual way, but I cannot write code
that determines what to do dynamically. What's missing is a primitive
function to the "real" beep. Something that would allow me to do
this:
(setq ring-bell-function
(lambda ()
(if (foo)
(call-process "aplay" nil 0 nil "foo.wav")
(let ((visible-bell (bar))) (real-ding)))))
(I could do this in a bad way, by installing some hook that will set
`ring-bell-function' and `visible-bell' -- for example in an idle
timer, but the above would be much more convenient.)

I'd like it to sing the error message using an encrypted vocabulary, with 4-part
harmony and with steel-drum backup.
Sorry; couldn't resist. No, your request is not a silly one.

Doesn't
(setq ring-bell-function
(lambda ()
(if (foo)
(call-process "aplay" nil 0 nil "foo.wav")
(let ((visible-bell (bar)) (ring-bell-function nil)) (ding)))))
do the trick?
Stefan

Ah, you're right -- sorry. Fine to close this bug then. BTW, a
better answer would be:
(defun real-ding () (let ((ring-bell-function nil)) (ding)))
The only thing that might make sense is to show this in the docs as a
way to do this kind of thing (but I don't have any strong opinion
about that).
