Once you "get it" it's a piece of cake.  Until you "get it" it's a piece
of shit.  

To record, you might do something like this:

ecasound -c -z:db -i /dev/dsp0 -o a_wave_file.wav 

This means:
	-c Command mode (lets you start/stop/rewind)
	-z:db Double buffer (makes cleaner recordings)
	-i /dev/dsp0 Where to get input
	-o a_wave_file.wav where to put output.

To mix, you might do something like this:

ecasound -a:1 -i a_wave_file.wav -a:2 -i another_wave_file.wav -a:all -o\
	yet_another_wave_file.wav

This means:
	-a:1 select "chain" 1
	-a:2 select "chain" 2
	-a:all select all "chains"

If you want to overdub, it supports that, too, but works best if you have
two soundcards.
