VSTPlugin uses Node replies to send data back to the Client. Node
replies are always sent to *all* registered Clients. So what's happening
is that sclang receives the message, but your Client does not. It is
probably an issue with your networking code.

When the plugin is probed, all static plugin info is transmitted to the
Client via a temp file. Additionally, all plugin info is cached in a
file called "cache.ini" in the (hidden) ".VSTPlugin" folder in your home
directory. Check out "VSTPlugin-UGen-Documentation.schelp" for how to
interface with the VSTPlugin UGen with a custom Client.
