You could have two scripts, one for piano mode
one for movie mode. Each script can start with 'killall
ecasound', so that whenever you run one, it kills the
running ecasound process.

Muting the audio output before stopping or killing ecasound
would be smoother, for sure.

In a more sophisticated solution, you could control Ecasound
via its interactive command language over a TCP socket. (See
'man ecasound-iam')

Have fun,
