Dear Wank,

There is a sound toolkit “Snack” you can use:

\_[http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/\_](http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/_) ([Snack Home Page](http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/))

There are Ruby bindings for it available under:

\_[http://rbsnack.sourceforge.net/intro.html\_](http://rbsnack.sourceforge.net/intro.html_)  
([Snack Home Page](http://rbsnack.sourceforge.net/intro.html))

I think you can do FFT analysis directly with Snack.

Best regards,

Axel

date 2002 anyone know of anything somewhat more up to date?
