The SoX program can of course convert nearly any format to nearly an other
format.
The -r option must be given to describe the sample rate of the raw file,
-e for signed, unsigned, float encoding format of samples, -b for size of
samples in number of bits, -c for number of channels in raw file.  If no
changes are desired, just a header, then the last argument is the file
name with format extension.

I do not have a raw file to test this, but I think for a 48 k sample rate,
32 bit float as used by jack, 2 channel raw file the conversion would be:

sox -r 48k -e floating-point -b 32 -c 2 long_night.raw long_night.w64

Maybe ecasound does not use floating point, perhaps you configure 16 bit
output to save space.  This should convert:
sox -r 48k -e signed-integer -b 16 -c 2 long_night.raw long_night.w64
