I don't think occam will help, it converts MIDI into a specific OSC  
schema, and not the one that Jamin uses.

OSC is a network protocol for music software, you send messages to  
paths on a particular network port, eg.
    /program/something "start"
or
    /program/volume -6.0 1.0
Jamin expects messages like
    /jamin/scene 3
Which means switch to scene 3. Look in jamin-scene.c for some sample  
code to send the messages, it's 2 lines of code if you use liblo.
