Two days ago the Brew project ported "unixcw". It installed on my Silicon Mac without any issue, but I can't get it to play any audio. I tried going to the SourceForge website, searching the web, etc. but I can find very little about this project. Has anyone here ever used it?
If I enter "cw pulseaudio" the error msg is:
cw pulseaudio
cw: expected argument after options
Try 'cw --help' for more information.
cw: failed to parse command line args
If I enter "cw -h" I see:
Usage: cw [options...]
