An option to consider is controlling ecasound from python. I've had a
good deal of fun building things this way in the past and hope to get
back to it this year. 

It works fairly well. The logic and configuration of your program is
fine in python ... it just sends control information to ecasound while
ecasound handles all the details of communicating with jackd.
