Liblo is a lightweight, easy to use implementation of the osc (open sound control) protocol (see for details).

open sound control (osc) is a protocol for communication among computers, sound synthesizers, and other multimedia devices that is optimized for modern networking technology. osc features:

* open-ended, dynamic, url-style symbolic naming scheme
* symbolic and high-resolution numeric argument data
* pattern matching language to specify multiple recipients of a
single message
* high resolution time tags
* "bundles" of messages whose effects must occur simultaneously
* query system to dynamically find out the capabilities of an osc
server and get documentation
