This is a weird script.  It's a ruby script that creates a web server,
but the web server listens for...

It runs a python script that uses python-xlib to listen for key presses,
and when a key is pressed it uses curl to open the connection to the
ruby script.. when the ruby script receives a request it plays a sound.

So really it's the Python script that's doing all the work... If you can
just try downloading the python script[1] and replacing 'curl
http://localhost:4567/key' with 'aplay myfile.wav'
