    esc Z n  Flush an individual sound queue

             n = 0, 1 or 2 for a tone channel,
                 3 for the noise channel

6.1 Internal Speaker Control

The sound produced by the sound driver, and anything else using the DAVE chip, can normally be heard through the built in speaker. This speaker can be disabled by setting the EXOS variable MUTE_SND to a non­zero value. This only affects the internal speaker, it does not prevent the sound from coming through headphones or anything connected to the monitor socket.
