This looks ok, but note that each ecasound will start recording right
away. If you want to ecasound instances to only run when the JACK system
transport is rolling (as seen from qjackctl), then use
"-G:jack,ecarec_ch$i,recv".

Hmm, that's a bit odd. You can add '-dd' to ecasound command-line (or to
use other tools, such as "jack_tranport" which comes with JACK), and see
what is printed when the transport is stopped.
