Try instead:

  ecasound | cronolog ==> oggenc

You will need to setup ecasound for raw headerless output and oggenc
for corresponding raw input.  The connection from cronolog to oggenc
is more complicated than a pipe - you need to run oggenc repeatedly
for each file cronolog splits.  Then you can delete the wavs.

This means more overhead and temporal space, and the switch between
tracks will sample-precise but not ideal.  Ideally you'd want a
cronolog-like tool with vcut powers built in...
