If RTTY is garbage you might have it reversed. You need to be on LSB
with the "REV" box unchecked, or USB with the "REV" box checked.

I don't think there is a CW decoder anyway.

I had more success when I set the sampling rate to 48000. My sound card
doesn't really have the lower rates and the sample rate converter inside
gMFSK seems to do a better job than the ALSA one which is providing
/dev/dsp.

Could be that gMFSK requires (inadvertently?) a full duplex sound card
which yours is not? Unlikely though.

At any command prompt, can you output to the device? just
cat /dev/random > /dev/dsp

You should hear garbage.

That sounds like a bug.
