Shaun August,
I have previously come across the same suggestion you mentioned: using
QTKit's QTMovie class for playing/looping audio.
After implementing the QTKit approach which you can see here:
https://github.com/razic/virus/blob/master/loop.rb the pause between
each loop iteration was either the same or worse than a basic NSSound
object with loops = true.
Neither the NSSound or the QTMovie are sufficient for seamless
looping. However, the Apple PlayFile example which I built/compiled in
Xcode DOES loop perfectly seamless.
How come I can't access a lot of the methods you see in the PlayFile
example, even after loading the necessary frameworks? (I have
BridgeSupport 2)
I hope I'm simply doing something wrong.
Would really appreciate anyone who can provide any sort of insight
into converting PlayFile to macruby.
PlayFile can be found here:

Thanks in advance,
Zak
