Last time I checked, there wasn't any (usable) serial-port extension
for Ruby. Thus, how are you planning to have Ruby communicate via
RS-232?

The library, it seems to me, would simply be an extension/relative
of the IO class which keeps state information about the particular
Russound device being controlled, correct?

If so, you'd probably hacking in this direction anyway, so get
something working first and then integrate your work into a library.
