There's a full set of sound libraries shipped with every Java runtime,
and they're as easy to use from JRuby as any Ruby library (with
nothing to build or install either!)

Here's a couple demos using the midi support in the JRE from Ruby:

I've not used the other sound libraries (basic formats built-in, many
third-party libs for other sound formats), but pretty much anything
you want to play ought to have a library for it.
