The PC speaker device is not a general purpose audio device, but only capable of playing beeps. While pcspkrd does currently get built, it never actually gets started at startup. There is also no program anywhere inside Redox OS capable of playing any sound through pcspkrd. And finally basically the thing it is used for on modern systems is to emit a beep when pressing backspace in a VT while there is no input buffered. I personally find that beep rather annoying and have disabled the Linux counterpart to pcspkrd on my system because of this.
