>Is there a way to configure how the bell is emitted by Linux's virtual console, currently? I mean, beyond audible and visual bell, is there a possibility to configure a program that should be run to emit the bell?

No, but you could write a program that monitors the correct /dev/input/event device for bell events and then do whatever you want when one arrives.
