No hack necessary.  From the "Examples" page under
effect and LADSPA plugins in ecasound:

ecasound -i:null -o:/dev/dsp -el:sine_fcac,880,1
-eemb:120,10 -efl:2000

      This results in audible metrome signal with
tempo of 120BPM. Now the syntax might look a bit
difficult for everyday use. Luckily ecasound's preset
system will help in this situation. You can get the
same exact result with:

 ecasound -i:null -o:/dev/dsp -pn:metronome,120

      See the file 'effect_presets' for a list of
available effect presets. By default, location of this
file is '/usr/local/share/ecasound/effect_presets'.
