This was one of the changes in 6.0.2.  On a Mac Plus & SE, if you choose the
Simple Beep sound, it uses the old SysBeep implementation.  One purpose of
this is that the Sound Manager on those machines uses a timer that is also
used by MIDI applications.  Choosing Simple Beep prevents the two things
from conflicting.

A quick experiment seems to indicate that the System looks at the ID of the
snd resource, and if it is 1, uses the old beep.  Changing the ID of the
Simple Beep resource should let you play the actual digitized sound.
