That seems to work fine. Except that when I set jack frame position to some high
value (several minutes over the sample length) I get a loud noise, with ecasound
complaining (I have 4 chains, basse.ewf is one of the inputs) :

(audioio-db-client) Warning! Underrun in reading from "PigBasse.wav". Trying to
recover.

Apart from that, I see that ecasound seems to correctly handle EOF, staying up
and silent when the sample is finished. This is the good behaviour to me.

Yeah, some options would be nice. In case of a non interactive session, I think
that ecasound should remain up until jackd shuts down (or the user hits Ctrl-C).
This way, if you terminate the jackd process from your script, all ecasounds
instances would properly exits.

Thanks
