Heh! Completely understand...I just plain cannot write the bindings 
since I know -no- C at all...oh well.

On the other hand, to correct what I said earlier about RubyCocoa, the 
HEAD tag out of cvs installs just fine on OSX and ruby 1.8.1...all the 
sound examples play fine.

I did:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous / cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/rubycocoa login

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous / cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/rubycocoa co -P -r 
HEAD -d rubycocoa-panther src

then

cvs update -d -P

Now I guess that RubyCocoa isn't really as straightforward as FMOD to 
play with sound and Ruby, but...

Anyone have any alternative suggestions?
