http://www.opensoundcontrol.org/what_is_osc/ claims that OSC has been 
implemented for both PD and csound. The link to csound doesn't work, but 
I have been using OSC and pd for a while now and it works really well, 
much faster than MIDI and it can handle floats and strings as well as 
integers. I would like to use OSC and csound as well but I have given up 
for the time being  finding a version of csound that will compile.
