It makes it as easy as I could to do OSC things, eg: lo_address t = lo_address_new("localhost", "7770"); lo_send(t, "/foo/bar", "ff", 5.0f, 23.0f); Making OSC servers is slightly more work, but not hard. The latest version handles scheduling on the server side (for incoming timestamped message bundles) and all kinds of things. - Steve
