I wrote some simple bindings for my Vimscriber transcription application, using Ruby/DL, but...alas...I can't get it to work on OSX, which is what the OP seems to want. If only FMOD were opensource, I could compile it to a shared library, but as it is the OSX version of FMOD is only distributed as a static lib. (Someone, please correct me if I'm wrong!) I, too, would be very interested in Ruby bindings to a sound lib for OSX. Would ruby-cocoa work? Anyone know? - Jamis
