Hmm, I'm not quite sure how to handle this. In the first case, it's the
shell interpreter that's doing the parsing (ecasound sees "to the sea.mp3"
as one arguments .. without the quotes).
So to be able to handle things like quotations, ~-expansions, etc in
ia-mode and cs-setup files, we'd have to duplicate shell functionality in
ecasound. Then comes the difficulty of choosing which quotation styles are
supported, etc, etc ... But it's true that the current situation is a bit
confusing.
