I suggest you solve the problem with ecasound started from the
command line, then you adapt your solution verbatim to ecasound
running in daemon mode.

Start ecasound to use interactive mode commands. You
probably want to set the 'sum' mixmode:

     ecasound -c -z:mixmode,sum

To get the equivalent of:

     -a:1 -i fifo1.mp3 -a:2 -i fifo2.mp3 -a:1,2 -o outp.mp3 &

The following are exactly the same commands (untested)
you will use to control ecasound in daemon mode.

    cs-add setup1
    c-add 1
    ai-add fifo1.mp3
    c-add 2
    ai-add fifo2.mp3
    c-select 1,2
    ao-add outp.mp3
        aio-status # to see what you have, also 'fs'
    cs-is-valid # to make sure ecasound is happy

You also want volume controls:

    c-select 1
    cop-add -ea:100 # use -eadb:0 for logarithmic scale
    c-select 2
    cop-add -ea:100

Later you want to modify the settings:

    c-select 1
    cop-list # to see the list
    cop-select 1 # chain operator 1
    copp-select 1 # parameter 1
    copp-set 88 # quieter

If you want to start from a blank slate for the next set of files:

    cs-remove setup1
    cs-add setup2
    ..... # continue as above

Maybe fifo1.mp3 and fifo2.mp3 will stay the same, and you
only want to change the output:

    c-select 1,2
    ao-remove outp.mp3
    ao-add

Good luck. Beyond this, you'll need to read the excellent
manual pages (man ecasound, man ecasound-iam) read the
Ecasound user's guide, and search the mailing archives.

Hope that helps,

Joel
