That speaker-test command on slackware 13.37 is worthless. Better to use aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav to actually hear any of those wav files. The -w and -W switches have no effect other than to ask for an argument in speaker-test and what I wrote this morning you can find using man speaker-test. This means bad documentation on the part of the alsa foundation.
