I don't grok ruby, but it seems "#{$dmenu}" is not being expanded
properly. Here's what's getting run:
execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "echo \"add\nclear\ncrop\ncrossfade\ndisable\nenable\nload\nmove\nnext\noutputs\npause\nplay\nplaylist\nplaylists\nprevious\nrandom on\nremove\nremove_playlist\nrepeat on\nsave\nsearch\nsearch_one\nseek\nshuffle\nstats\nstop\nupdate\nversion\nvolume\" | "], [/* 125 vars */]) = 0

If I replace "#{$dmenu}" with "dmenu -b" it works properly:
execve("/bin/sh", ["sh", "-c", "echo \"add\nclear\ncrop\ncrossfade\ndisable\nenable\nload\nmove\nnext\noutputs\npause\nplay\nplaylist\nplaylists\nprevious\nrandom on\nremove\nremove_playlist\nrepeat on\nsave\nsearch\nsearch_one\nseek\nshuffle\nstats\nstop\nupdate\nversion\nvolume\" | dmenu -b"], [/* 125 vars */]) = 0
