probably the main difference is that the ECI libraries are shipped as 
dynamic libs as per Debian's normal policy, while by default only static 
libraries are installed when built from source.

I understand the case for shipping ECI C as a shared lib, although the 
amount of code shared is really small (the real functionality is in the 
ecasound binary, and libecasoundc/ECI is just a call wrapper). When 
building from source, default is to build all libs as static.

This is controlled by the dynamic linker config files, e.g. 
/etc/ld.so.conf* (varies a bit from distro to another).
