Hmm, it seems that readline-4.2 does not define RL_READLINE_VERSION, which
is used by ecasound to select which function prototypes to use. Because of
this, you get the...

> char*, int)'

... error. This was added to readline-4.2a:

--cut--
b. New #defines in readline.h: RL_READLINE_VERSION, currently 0x0402,
    RL_VERSION_MAJOR, currently 4, and RL_VERSION_MINOR, currently 2.
--cut--

So readline-4.2 has a different API, but no API version info in the
headers. Ugh, this is just the reason why I've included my own version
of readline along with ecasound. ;)

Hmm, can anyone else verify this? I don't get the segfault, but:

--cut--
###| ~ |$ ecasound_debug -y:100 -o:/dev/dsp
[...]
Error! Non-existant last audio object.
(eca-chainsetup-parser) Warning! Only 0+0 of the expected 2 parameters
were recognized succesfully.

ecasound: ERROR: [ECA-SESSION] : "Invalid argument, unable to parse: '-y:100'"
--cut--

Just a wild guess, you didn't happen to compile wit -fomit-frame-pointer? 
In the above case, ecasound reports the error using an C++ exception. 
Omitting the frame-pointer, while nice for C apps, while break exception 
handling in C++.
