I'm afraid you've hit this old issue:
http://www.eca.cx/ecasound-list/2008/07/0048.html

There is some progress since then (there's now a proper end-of-stream
marker implemented), but the draining is still not implemented.

The (very) crude fix is to just lower the buffersize (-b) to make sure the
end is played out as well. -z:nointbuf will help as well (further reduces
device buffering).

But thanks for reminding, this is a stupid bug and should be fixed.

PS This doesn't impact JACK usage, only ALSA (but still an ecasound
    problem, so ALSA is not to blame)...
