yes, that's how it works now.

As a little background, the daemon mode has been in ecasound
for quite a while, but so far I know only of one or two people besides
me who are actually using it. There are probably more, but still,
I've received very littly feedback on it.

Now personally I use it solely in combination with ecamonitor (comes
with ecasound). I use the main console (one running in --daemon mode)
for controlling my recording and mixing sessions, and the ecamonitor
running in a second console to see what is happening in the setup while
I'm recording myself playing something (cannot type commands while
playing :)).

So this probably explains why --daemon behaves as it does currently.
But I'm open to suggestions...

Yes, but this is essential part of how ecasound's command-line option
syntax works. Many functions (like specifying complex chainsetups from the
command-line) could not be realized without ordered options.
