Well, this only works as expected if it looks like this:
ecasound -t:15 \
       -a:1 -i voice.wav \
       -a:1 -ea:100 \ <-----NEW LINE
       -a:2,3 -mp3/music.mp3 \
       -a:2 -ea:0 -kl2:1,0,100,0,5 -gc:0,5 \
       -a:3 -ea:100 -kl2:1,100,0,5,5 -gc:5,5
       -a:1,2,3 -o /dev/dsp

Without the additional line, the fadein in is inaudible. Now, here is
where things get tricky for me. What I really want is to hear the fade
start in and the voice at 0 secs, the voice will drop at 10 Assuming that
voice.wav is exactly 10 seconds in length. I extend the gates on the music
out to the full 15 seconds like this:

ecasound -t:15 \
        -a:1 -i voice.wav \
        -a:1 -ea:100 \
        -a:2,3 -i mp3/music.mp3 \
        -a:2 -ea:0 -kl2:1,0,100,0,5 -gc:0,5 \
        -a:3 -ea:100 -kl2:1,100,0,10,5 -gc:5,15
        -a:1,2,3 -o /dev/dsp

So what I should hear is music fade in and voice at 0s.
Voice cut out at 10s (because thats how long it is)
Music fade at 10s out to 15s

But what I hear is that as soon as the voice ends @10s, the music jumps up
to 100% volume and sticks there until 15s, where the processing stops.
Why is the fadeout being lost?

Hopefully this is straightforward enough to follow. Any help would be
greatly appreciated! Thanks!
