From manpage, ecasound(1):

ALSA devices
When using ALSA drivers, instead of a device file-
name, you need to use the following option syntax:
-i[:]alsa,pcm_device_name. Note! Pcm device naming
was introduced in ALSA 0.6.x (doesn't work with
older ALSA versions; see below for the old syntax).
ALSA direct-gw and plugin access
It's also possible to use a specific card and
device combination using the following notation:
-i[:]alsahw,card_number,device_number,subde-
vice_number. The ALSA plugin layer works just like
the normal ALSA pcm-devices, but with automatic
sample rate and format conversions. Option syntax
is -i[:]alsaplugin,card_number,device_number,subde-
vice_number.
