737NG Ground spoiler system

Following another thread, and some very useful info (thanks 'mono') it appears that failure of the GS Interlock would cause an intermittent horn when airborne.

I need a little help here please, techies (and CaptS&L, of course) - as this component is undocumented in 'Pilot's Notes' and MEL/DDM - with this:-

1) I guess the horn would sound at lift-off, thereby being a pretty good clue that you do not have a 'cabin altitude' problem

2) Could any sort of failure later cause the horn to sound?

3) I assume that it cannot be silenced until next landing unless the CB is pulled?

4) What, if anything, would determine a call for GS extension in the air with the failure?

5) I am assuming that the PSEU also controls GS deployment?

6) Presumably therefore there would be no adverse effect on roll control in a failure mode?
