I guess I was mainly thinking of serialising the ECI commands with
possibly some small delay between commands, since ecasound is possibly
allowing them to come faster than it can digest. The possibilities
offered by the new logging mechanism you discuss would certainly help us
in that respect.

Fortunately, the thought already did occur to me as I was trying to
track down the bug earlier this week, so I used both libecasound and
netECI throughout. Unfortunately, the behaviour remained completely
consistent, and so i was none the wiser for it.
