UDP is a transport protocol. OSC is a way to encode events and associated data in a binary format. And indeed there are no standards that define the meaning of any OSC message. That again is at a different level. And where do you get the 'quite significant overhead' ? It just depends on how you use it. -- FA Io lo dico sempre: l'Italia è troppo stretta e lunga. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
