I read:
I still think it would be worthwhile to use OSC, as it is a wider-used format, allowing communications with many more apps than PD. But it could [not sure here] be a bit more work. Any OSC developers here-abouts?
it is a little more work but definitely worth it (for the benefit of time- stamped messages alone) there really isn't too much to it check:

there is a small library to download that makes implementig osc quite easy.
