Hmm, to make sure the 24bit file is interpreted correctly, try the 
following:

# if the mp3 plays fine, continue to next step
ecasound -i foo.mp3 -f:s16,2,44100 -o alsa,default

# let's convert to higher quality before playback
ecasound -i foo.mp3 -f:s24,2,44100 -o alsa,default

# now convert into a 24bit wave file (first 15secs of the mp3)
ecasound -i foo.mp3 -f:s24,2,44100 -o 24bit_test.wav -t:15

# now playback the wav file
ecasound -i 24bit_test.wav -f:s24,2,44100 -o alsa,default

Let me know if the above work (and if not, which cases fail).

This is enough to confirm that ALSA0.9 is compiled in and should work ok
(... "ecasound -i foo.mp3 -o alsa,default").
