In fact I think the whole OSC external thing needs to be rethought.
why not just implement a wrapper to liblo ?
Investigating further, I see that liblo can only send via UDP and UNIX sockets, not TCP. It handles its own sockets internally just like libOSC (the basis for sendOSC and dumpOSC in pd). In pd, netsend and netreceive can do TCP as well. OSC is supposed to work on 'any' protocol, but AFAIK it hasn't been implemented on MIDI or RS232 or USB, probably for lack of interest. At least a TCP implementation would be useful for those who need guaranteed delivery of packets.
