that's a good question, but unfortunately this is not possible. The ECI
API is limited to controlling the audio processing engine (telling it what
to do), but it is not possible to route audio data over this API.

You can hack around this limitation for instance using named pipes (have
ecasound and your python app read from and/or rite to, a named pipe), but
these can be a bit messy to handle. See for example mkfifo(1/3) man pages
and python's os.mkfifo().
