The problem seems to be that eci_init() fails, so a better test case would be:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <libecasoundc/ecasoundc.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
	eci_init();

	if (eci_ready() == 0) {
		puts("fail");
		return 1;
	}

	return 0;
}

This unfortunately doesn't seem to be very helpful since it doesn't show the
error (which actually happens in the middle of the clock_gettime()s). In any
case I don't think it would add much anyway.

Anyway, the problem seems to be in the eci_impl_read_return_value() function,
called by eci_init_r(). In particular, the last check fails, but I'm not quite
sure what it's supposed to test. I'll forward this upstream.

Cheers
