This should work...
bash> ecalength LengthFile.wav
LengthFile.wav: 9.083s (0m9s)
bash> ecasound -i:ExtractFrom.wav -y:(StartPosition) -t:9.083
-o:Extracted.wav
bash> ecasound -a:1 -i:Extracted.wav -a:2 -i:MixWith.wav -a:1,2
-o:BothFilesMixed.wav
Of course, this gets tricky if any of the files in question have
different channel counts, bit depths, sampling rates or are of
different file types. It still can be done, but there will be other
interm steps involved. But in a best case scenerio, the above should
work.
Let me know if this how it went....

Thanks Rocco,
That's close to what Jeremy mentioned over on the ecasound list. I asked
him, and I'll ask here: do you know who to find the closest zero
crossing? in the extracted "from" file? That would seem to be a
necessary step to prevent clicks.
