Sounds in ruby

ruby-talk

I've done a cursory search, but could find little support for sounds in
ruby. Is there some sound generating library that I have somehow missed. Has
anyone started work on this?
I would like to add the ability to play some type of sound file from a ruby
program. It would be cool to be platform independent, or at least run on
mac/linux/win32.
Any help would be appreciated.

The SDL (Simple Direct Layer) libraries might be useful, especially if you want cross-platform support. There are a couple different bindings, one is here:
