Here's the content from Ken without the pgp-thingy.  

"  For a few months now, I've been using ecasound daemons to run my 
effects chains for performance purposes.

Now I want to do some more with these, change them around, and 
experiment with them. To do that, I need to connect to the existing 
running instances, using some kind of client, and tweak their 
parameters. 

I tried the ecasound.el emacs mode, but it insists on spawning its own 
ecasound instance, instead of connecting to one that is already 
running. Very frustrating, because it otherwise looks excellent.

I tried ecamonitor, but it doesn't *do* anything. It just sits there, 
and doesn't accept any keyboard input.

What tool actually works for connecting to an existing ecasound 
instance, much as, say, "ingen -g" connects to a running ingen daemon?

- -ken "

Hope this help,
