The best way to go for crossfades is probably -kl2 from the manpage:
-----
-kl2:fx-param,start-value,end-value,1st-stage-length-sec,2nd-stage-length-sec
Two-stage linear envelope, a more versatile tool
for doing fade-ins and fade-outs. Stays at
þstart_valueþ for þ1st_stage_lengthþ seconds and
then linearly changes towards þend_valueþ during
þ2nd_stage_lengthþ seconds.

So reusing your own example:
ecasound \
-a:1 -i:file1.ewf -ea:100 -kl2:1,100,0,12,3 \
-a:2 -i file2.ewf -ea:100 -kl:1,,0,100,4 \
.... \
-a:all ...
