process .wav file?

[mike re-v]

I would like to play a very short sound effect( .wav
file )
repeatedly.
############################################
aFile = File.new("foo.wav", "r")
# ... process the file

aFile.close
###########################################
the above code is found in pickaxe pg 108
I can r/w regex loop, count words, or characters in a
txt file. Where would you suggest I look to play the
.wav (process) the file using Ruby?
Thanks

Sorry I should have specified linux platform
I've looked at the RAA several keywd searches
like 1.) sound i/o
2)i/o sound linux
3).wav
I don't see anything relative.
I'm probably not using RAA correctly
please advise
thanks

It won't be very cross-platform, but since it is a wav, you can just
open /dev/dsp and write directly to that. Wav files are basically
just audio dumps, so that usually works.
