Most software for the digital modes include both "sound card" CW and 
hard keyed CW. You can't tell the difference on the air unless the op 
doesn't know the sidetone frequncy of his rig and has the frequency in 
the software set wrong.

There won't be any QSK with "sound card CW" either. Up until I built a 
keying interface for my TS-520 thats how I ran CW. Hamscope or MixW and 
a rigblaster.

Another happy benefit of audio injected CW, really afsk, is that there 
are no key clicks to be heard and you don't have to worry about rise and 
fall times of the keying waveform.
