I posed a question about this a while back, and Kai found the problem and sent this workaround:

Hi,

:

Fortunately, a workaround is easy, just add:

--cut-- ext-cmd-mp3-output = lame -b %B -s %S -r --little-endian -S - %f --cut--

... to your ~/.ecasound/ecasoundrc and ta-daa it works.

This works nicely, so if anyone else was having this problem, here's the fix.
