PS: I just ran /usr/share/cwdaemon/cwtest and obtained this. (I'd tried 
to compile it, using gcc and Joop's instructions, but got a lot of 
errors.) The test CW message, "Paris Paris," etc., came blasting out of 
my speakers. The prosigns came through at lower volume.

address@hidden:/usr/share/cwdaemon$ ./cwtest
first message at initial speed
speed 40
tone 1000, speed 40
tone 800, weight +20
weight -20
weight 0
speed increase / decrease
half gap
tune 3 seconds
test message abort
switch to soundcard
volume 30
prosigns: SK BK SN AS AR
set volume back to 70
back to console
message with PTT on
same with different TOD
done, reset
address@hidden:/usr/share/cwdaemon$

Sorry to be submitting multiple posts but I really want to get this working!
