Yep, .ecs should be documented better. In any case the format is quite
straightforward as .ecs files are parsed with the same parser as are
command-line options. So shortly put: .ecs file is a sequence of
command-line options. Like when parsing command-line args, order does
count.
Only difference is that "global options" (see ecasound(1) man page)
cannot be used in .ecs files, but this is pretty obvious if you take a
look at what those options are (-c, -C, -D, -q, ...).

Yes, you don't need to use '\' in .ecs files.
