/usr/ports/audio/beep requires /dev/speaker

Just a suggestion that a blurb be put in as part of the post-install
of /usr/ports/audio/beep that it requires /dev/speaker. If one tries to run
beep without /dev/speaker, beep will error.
IIRC, GENERIC doesn't include the device entry for speaker anymore and thus
requires one to load the module for speaker via:
kldload speaker
Once that is done, beep will work as expected. The default permissions
for /dev/speaker is 600 as well.
Thanks
Reuben
