Could be.  I'll try this.  I should have mentioned that this doesn't
happen if I don't have the ecasound resample object in the chain, so I
kind of figured that it might be some sort of caching issue or
persistent buffering by the resample object.  Maybe this is a
(mis)feature of the interaction between the resample object and jackd.
Thanks.

IMHO, it doesn't really make sense that ecasound uses the jack transport
API.  It's a CLI program, and the interaction is incompletely
implemented.  All you can do is "pause" the playback, which terminates
ecasound.  You can't restart it.  You can do this with Ctrl-C, too, with
fewer keystrokes, and faster.
