Let's see...

# 1. two stereo files into 4ch file (out1234.wav)
ecasound \
      -a:c1 -i in12.wav \
      -a:c2 -i in34.wav -erc:1,3 -eac:0,1 -erc:2,4 -eac:0,2 \
      -a:c1,c2 -o out1234.wav -z:mixmode,sum

# 2. two stereo files mixed to left and right channels of a
#    single stereo output (out12.wav)
ecasound -a:c1 -i in12.wav -erm:1 -eac:0,2 \
          -a:c2 -i in34.wav -erm:2 -eac:0,1 \
          -a:c1,c2 -o out12.wav -z:mixmode,sum
