I definitely don't want just the visual bell, on the other end and I think
that 'ringing' both is the right thing. I was always wandering why
libedit doesn't ring sound bell and just flashes screen.

Also, readline uses ordinary bell only, so there is change in functionality
if one uses editline with readline compatibility.
