Yup, 2.1dev8 contains a rewritten rtnull implementation so it's possible
that the behaviour has changes. How about:

ecasound -i null -o rtnull

and

ecasound -i rtnull -o null

Do you get any xruns? Btw; if you just want to analyze the line-in
signal, it's better to use:

ecasound -i /dev/dsp -o null -ev

You can think of "null" as a file type, while "rtnull" is a
soundcard/device type. When used as inputs both behave like /dev/zero
(produce a silent signal), and as /dev/null when used as outputs (accepts
all data but doesn't do anything with it). "rtnull" is useful when you
need to simulate a soundcard, but for some reason don't want to use a real
device (ALSA, JACK, aRts, OSS, etc).
