a minor nit, that should be s/-rt/-r/ (but -rt works as well ;)):

$ ecasound -r -z:db -i alsa,default -o some.ogg

Also, ecasound has some clever logic to tune performance settings 
based on the type of session, and available runtime capabilities (like 
rt-schediling, memory locking, etc), so in most cases you can just do:

$ ecasound -i alsa,default -o some.ogg

Or to encode to flac:

ecasound -i alsa,default -o some.flac
