I'm interested in seeing portaudio wrapped, yes. I have a few other 
things on my plate first: releasing a new ruby osc lib, packaging the 
latest csound and nyquist for debian, and various "real-life" 
responsibilities. I might have some time this fall. In any case, if 
you've already done something I'm happy to help you and maybe we can 
integrate the result in ruby/audio (or maybe it'll be better to keep it 
separate).

Your signal generator zoo sounds interesting. I've kicked some ideas for 
a text-based modular synthesizer a la csound but easy (although not 
graphical) for some time. It'd be fun to discuss, but perhaps off-list.

For the record, my compile looks like this:
