I guess the closest thing in ecasound is this:

"""
-ge:open-threshold-%, close-thold-%,volume-mode

  Threshold gate. Initially gate is closed. It is opened when volume goes over 'othreshold' percent. After this, if volume drops below 'cthold' percent, gate is closed and won't be opened again. If 'value_mode' is 'rms', average RMS volume is used. Otherwise peak average is used. When closed, passing audio buffers are trucated to zero length.
