Balsa mocks me, so I hope this one doesn't get sent twice, anyway

'apt-cache search ruby' tells me that (at least for Debian) pakages for
ruby extension usually are called 'libwhithrubybindings-ruby" while
packages for python are usually called pythonx.y-something.
On the other hand many ruby projects call themself ruby-somewhat (e. g.
ruby-gnome2, ruby-qt, ruby-kde).
I would therefor vote for ruby-ecasound.
Feel free to change this, though.
I understand one way of distributing a ruby library like this is by the
help of http://www.loveruby.net/en/setup.html.
You only have to stick to a certain subdirectory layout to make this
work.
Assuming ruby is found in PATH you would have to call 'ruby setub.rb
config' followed by 'ruby setup.rb install' from your Makefile and
everything gets copied where it belongs.
Now my medium-term aim is a module which lets you do something like the
following:
require "ecasound"
p = Ecasound::Process.new()
cs = p.new_chainsetup("test1")
print p.chainsetup_status(), "\n"
cs.new_chain("bla1")
p.engine.start()
chain1 = cs["bla1"]
chain2 = Ecasound::Chain(p, "bla2")
...
without ever having to send a single iam command (while the latter
stays an option).
The control interface is the first step.
While there are some things which I would like to investigate (version
checking would fail if you released 2.10 because "2.2" > "2.10" =>
true, is there a chance that the ecasound child becomes a zombie
process?) my local tests showed a good behaviour.
setup.rb requires ruby libraries to stay in the lib subdirectory.
I tared a package which includes a ruby-ecasound directory and
subdirectories conforming to setup.rb.
There is also a starting README. Feel free to add this to CVS.

Are you kidding? You are the boss!
