I don't think you need the trouble to synthesize that. It would be way too hard to even sound convincing.

Depending on how your scene is, you could loop the sound foward/backwards and simulate a doppler effect applying a low pass filter and/or changing it's pitch.

By the way, freesoung.org is a great place for free samples. They are not professionally recorded but are a good starting point for manipulation. On the other hand, sound ideas has some great sample cds (they're actually industry standard) if you can find them on the cheap. You just have to search for which one has rolling ball sounds.
