What version of ecasound and of ALSA? There have been problems with
certain versins of ALSA, which could lead to errors like this.

Why use 'buffer' and 'oggenc'. Add suggest to use:
sh> ecasound -t:$DURATION -i alsahw,${CARDNR},0 -o $FILENAME.ogg
... and put the necessary oggenc options to your ~/ecasound/ecasoundrc.
See ecasoundrc(5) man page for details.
Now if it still fails, something will be printed out to the
terminal. I'd be interested in that info...
