Hello Kaspar! With ecasound the -eli option is shorter to type and you get the info with analyseplugin. But an even better commandline host for LADSPA plugins is Nama, Nama is actually a front end to Ecasound, offering a little more high level comfort. So it depends on your tasks. If you do batch processing, stay with Ecasound and go even slimmer and try applyplugin from the basic ladspa package. If you wish to do some tweaking or generally would feel more comfortable with an interactive interface, then use Nama.
