Check output of "arecord -l" to get a list of all cards currently
available via ALSA.
Then choose the card number to use, and then use:
arecord -D plughw:N foo.wav
ecasound -i alsa,plughw:N -o foo.wav
...
... where 'N' is the soundcard number. If you run ecasound with "-i alsa",
that's equivalent to "-i alsa,default". The "default" device is usually
the first soundcard in your system (-> "plughw:0").
PS You can also use "arecord -L" to get even more information
about the available ALSA devices.
