I've tested this further with the simplest of commandlines:
ecasound -i:foo.wav -o:foo-m.wav -ei:xxx
-ei seem to be limited to the range 12.50%-2000% now. I know this used
to have a much wider range. Has something changed in the -ei effect or
in how ecasound interfaces with libsamplerate?

My python eci pmix.py script uses -ei extensively. I've had it running
daily scheduled via cron for sometime now with the standard out
redirected to a log file. I have values in the log as high as 11343% and
as low as 3%. I remember testing the extremes when libsamplerate went
from max 12x in each direction to max 256x[0]. I would expect to be able
to use % values between 0.00390625 and 25600. I'm pretty sure this
worked before I installed the last few recent 2.3.4-pre`date` versions.

System details below.

Thanks,
Eric Rz.

[0]btw, Erik, the SRC page still refers to the 12x limit ... err ...
doh! just checked again to be sure. Looks like you updated it recently,
so never mind. I'll leave this pointless note here just to see if I get
to read a new cool quote in your sig. :)
