First... many thanks to Kai, S. Massy and Joel Roth for all the great 
developments recently with ecasound. It always infuses energy for me and 
helps me to keep motivated in writing my front end to ecasound...

I'm running ecasound v2.9.0.

I took a quick look at your setup so forgive me if I'm off the mark. But 
is seems I'm doing the same thing to increase the level of various 
things (panning, volume, effects) and I'm not having the same problems. 
Maybe you can try this "one command does all" and circumvent the problem...

c-select $chain
cop-set $chainop_id,$param_id,$value

Maybe there's just something in the 'copp-set' command that doesn't 
exist in 'cop-set'

Hope this helped,
Rocco
