yes, this indeed was a bug (introduced by yours truly in March this year,
so not in 2.4.6.1). Thanks a lot Julien for finding this out!

This one is still open -- seems very odd to me, but stranger things have
happened. ;)

Yes, this is intended. Passing '-f' doesn't have any impact when reading,
and updating an existing, .wav file. Ecasound always uses the params in
the file header. If you really want to override the header info, you can
for instance interpret the file as raw PCM ("-f:24,2,48000 -i
typeselect,.raw,foo.wav"). For output files, you can also pass '-x' so
that ecasound will truncate (vs updating) the outputs.
