You can look in /usr/portage/media-sound/ecasound/ to see what versions |
| 6 |
are available. Unfortunately for you, there is only 2.4.3 :( |

If version 2.3.3 still existed, you could install that specifically by |
| 9 |
saying: |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
emerge =media-sound/ecasound-2.3.3 |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
But since it's not there you'll either have to find the ebuild for it, |
| 14 |
or upgrade to 2.4.3. |

Usually the latest stable ebuilds are kept. When there is a security |
| 20 |
update or bug fix, the affected ebuilds are usually deleted. When a new |
| 21 |
version becomes sufficiently tested and stable, older versions are |
| 22 |
deleted if there are no dependencies on them. |

If you _must_ have a particular version for ever, then use the |
| 28 |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf |
