Doh! I should have spotted that one.

Very helpful actually. But I'm still getting an infinite running engine.

Here's what I have now.

ecasound -f:16,6,48000 \
-a:1,2,3,4,5,6 -i TEST_1-2.aif \
-a:1 -chmute:2 \
-a:2 -chmute:1 \
-a:3 -chmix:3 \
-a:4 -chmix:4 \
-a:5 -chmute:1 \
-a:6 -chmute:2 \
-a:5,6 -o loop,1 \
-a:7 -i loop,1 -chmix:5 -o loop,2 \
-a:8 -i loop,2 -chmix:6 \
-a:all -o test-out.wav

I have also tried this suggestion:

ecasound -f:16,6,48000 \
-a:1,2,3,4,5,6 -i TEST_1-2.aif \
-a:1 -chmute:2 \
-a:2 -chmute:1 \
-a:3 -chmix:3 \
-a:4 -chmix:4 \
-a:5 -chmute:1 \
-a:6 -chmute:2 \
-a:5,6 -o loop,1 \
-a:7 -i loop,1 -chmix:5 -o loop,2 -chcopy:5,6 \
-a:all -o test-out.wav
