Play ogg file from Ruby (on windows)

Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has managed to play ogg files from Ruby? I'm not looking for much, just the ability to do something like this:

   puts 'Playing a song...'
   ogg_play 'song.ogg'
   puts 'Done playing that song.'

So ogg_play would just play the song, and return when the song is done.

Anyone done anything like this?

Chris

You could probably try ruby-xmms: http://pablotron.org/software/xmms-ruby/

Sorry, but I meant to say "on Windows". (Well, I did say that in the subject, but forgot to say it in the message. :slight_smile:

Frow what I can tell, those will only work on machines with /dev/dsp, right?

Thanks, though,

Chris

Yeah, but again, I'm looking for something on Windows.
