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.
