I don't know if this is of any help for you, but if you take a look at
ecamonitor's source code, which is actually a Python script, you'll see
that all it does is connecting to ecasound's TCP port and issuing
ecasound-iam commands. It should be relatively straightforward to extend
this to accept more commands from stdin. Unfortunately, I don't have the
time currently...

Hope this helps
