Now it works: 


$ ecasound -a:1,2,3 -i:sndfile,3canali.wav -o alsaplugin,2,0

So we could consider problem 1) solved.

Let's try to go to problem 2).  The above command properly sends channel 1 to
loudspeaker 1 and channel 2 to loudspeaker 2, but it doesn't manage to send
channel 3 into loudspeaker 3.  Actually, the Behringer seems to behave in
stereo mode.  But the strange thing is that outputs `B' (i.e. 3 and 4) do not
work at all and seems to be dead.  So please help: how can I - if ever possible
- send channel 3 to loudspeaker 3?  And, more in general: is it possible, even
with some other device, to achive what I want?

Thanks,

Rodolfo
