This should probably be "nc -u", in order to send UDP packets.

With nc -u, cwdaemon says:

cw: open /dev/audio: No such file or directory

Obviously cwdaemon it uses OSS via cwlib (package unixcw), but OSS is
no longer availabe by default. Using it with "padsp" fails due to a
problem with /dev/mixer (although it's supposed to be provided by
padsp).

cw: open /dev/mixer: Input/output error

It might be possible to "fix" (or break) cwlib in a way that it works
with padsp, but a cleaner solution would be adding PulseAudio support
to cwlib. I am not sure if cwlib is still maintained any longer by
its original author Simon Baldwin (G0FRD); the current version 2.3
seems to be from 2006.

If it is indeed unmaintained, I'd give it a try and add PA support.

Title:
  no audio from cwdaemon

Status in “cwdaemon” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  natty, 64-bit:

  There seems to be no way to obtain audio from cwdaemon.

  The following should work (I believe):
  1. as root: cwdaemon -n -v 100 -x b
  2. in another terminal: nc 127.0.0.1 6789 < test
    [test is a file that contains text]
  When I do this no audio is heard. Indeed, I have tried everything I can think of, but nothing generates any audio.
