hmm, 'int-cmd-list' returns a list of strings, so commas are not
necessarily used as separators.

The C ECI API allows to access each string list item separately via
'eci_last_string_list_item(int n)', and the low-level Audio::Ecasound
seems to provide these as well (eci_last_string_list* functions). But it
would seem eci() function in Audio::Ecasound returns string lists a bit
differently.

E.g. the relevant code in Ecasound.pm:
--cut--
    } elsif($type eq 'S') {
         my $count = $self->last_string_list_count();
         # differentiate from () err when ambiguous
         return ('') unless ($count && $self->on_error);
         my @ret;
         for my $n (0..$count-1) {
             push @ret, $self->last_string_list_item($n);
         }
         return @ret;
--cut--

.. so commas are not used as a separator, but instead an array of items is
returned (and assuming I'm deciphering the perl logic correctly, the
return value is a normal perl array).

But yeah, a bit confusing, but AFAIK still following the ECI docs. What do
you think..?
