Just done some more testing and I've found out something that may be
helpful.

The above output says basically that while loading the "ecasound.rb" module,
it got stuck on line 93, which (guessing from the code) gets the ecasound
version number by running the ecasound executable itself.

Turns out that, when running "ecasound --version" it sometimes does not
exits properly (it prints on STDOUT and then it stays there).

With the help of gdb I have investigated on the stuck process and I got
the following information:

    % gdb ../ecasound/ecasound 20416
    [..]
    0x00007f8de15f3be5 in pthread_join () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
    (gdb) bt
    #0 0x00007f8de15f3be5 in pthread_join () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
    #1 0x000000000045e743 in main (argc=<value optimized out>,
        argv=<value optimized out>) at ecasound.cpp:311

That is, the ecasound executable get stuck while calling pthread_join()
at ecasound.cpp line 311 (it does the same for v2.7.0, but you will have to
run ecasound many more times to reproduce this). What would make
pthread_join() hangs? No idea for now (didn't investigated in the code
further, I'll maybe do it tomorrow).

Not sure if this helps, but it's something I think...

Cheers
