Subject: Playing sounds on a Mac

I wrote a little timer application and I would like it to play a  
sound when the timer has counted down to 0.  I looked for a beep  
method in the pickaxe book but couldn't find a standard one.  I  
searched the web for information about sound support for Ruby and  
found something called FMod that runs on my Mac but doesn't seem to  
have Ruby support.  I know I can try to wrap that up for Ruby but  
before making the effort I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows of  
something already available and easy to use for playing sounds in  
Ruby on a Mac PowerBook.  Oh, I also looked at RUDL but Mac support  
looks sketchy and I'd rather go with FMod if necessary.

Thanks,

Ernest
