I've come across a Snack Sound Toolkit, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snack_Sound_Toolkit -- seems to be some 
ancient bindings to it, less than alpha and untested. It also requires 
Tk.

portaudio has some ruby bindings to it: paruby  and ruby-portaudio 
(http://github.com/jvoorhis/ruby-portaudio/blob/master/lib/portaudio.rb#). 
The latter is Feb 2010 the other (paruby) seems quite old and perhaps 
abandoned (updated 2006, status: in development).


Someone suggested "afplay" -- this is a command line utility on OSX. 
Unfortunately, does not allow me to pause resume.

So it looks like ruby-portaudio may be the best bet at present.
