I tried using ecasound to write a .flac file with the following command:
ecasound -f:32,12,48000 -i:alsahw,0,0 \
          -f:24,1,48000 -o:2004-0904-house-yard.flac \
          -erc:3,1 -eac:0,4

This records audio from my miniDV camcorder whose analog out is patched
into my omni i/o on channels 3/4. I'm throwing away the right side to
record in mono from the left only. I have made successful recordings
with the same settup to .wav files.

When I try to play the file back like this:
ecasound -f:24,1,48000 -i:2004-0904-house-yard.flac \
          -f:32,1,48000 -o:alsahw,0,0

I get only full-on static.

Additionally when I check the file with flac:
audiobox:/mnt/audio/in_progress/miniDV$ flac -a 2004-0904-house-yard.flac

2004-0904-house-yard.flac: ERROR while decoding data
                            state = 4:FLAC__STREAM_DECODER_END_OF_STREAM

There is a typo (cut-n-paste-o? ;) ) in man ecasoundrc:
        ext-cmd-flac-output
        <snip>
  %f is replaced with path to the output ogg, <-- should be flac
        <snip>

I'll try setting the flac options in my ecasoundrc and report back.
