Yes, one of the sample programs is:

require 'osx/cocoa'

snd_files =
   if ARGV.size == 0 then
     `ls /System/Library/Sounds/*.aiff`.split
   else
     ARGV
   end

OSX.ruby_thread_switcher_start(0.001, 0.1)
Thread.start { OSX::NSRunLoop.currentRunLoop.run }

snd_files.each do |path|
   snd = OSX::NSSound.alloc.initWithContentsOfFile_byReference(path, 
true)
   snd.play
   sleep 0.25 while snd.isPlaying?
end


Don't know if this give the OP what he wants.

Dave.
