The additional info you posted was indeed helpful. The following seems
awfully close to your situation (freezing if '-a:something' on

Hello!
Although it has taken over half a year, the problem is now located. :) It
seems that libncurses is the problem source. The latest ecasound packages
(1.9dev2) contain a new '--disable-ncurses'. By compiled this way,
ecasound will work even on out-of-the-box slackware boxes.
