There's a gem called win32-sound that's suitable for playing wav files. 
  I assume this uses the win32 API function for playing wav files, so it 
should work on vista.  If you require anything more complex, you could 
try the Ruby SDL bindings but win32-sound looks fine for playing simple 
wav files.
