this summing mode is great (and in my opinion the more intuitive
behavior), thank you!

somehow a "-m" option (below) ended up in the ecasound-iam man page (of
the above-mentioned snapshot, at least). i am assuming this is not an
alias, just an accident which was meant to be "-z", or is it?

cs-set-param
Interpret general chainsetup parameters like for example "-b"
(buffersize), "-m" (mixmode), "-n" (name), etc. See ecasound(1) for
more info. [-]
