No matter what tech you use, you'll need:
1) communicational channel
2) message creation/parsing
3) message routing (handling)

Yes, you may use FIFO's (pipes) with standard POSIX API's as a
channel, and write messaging stuff yourself. But unless you have very
specific requirements, you'll end up writing liblo equivalent. With
the exception that you'll have to write and support it yourself.

Use liblo, it's easy.
Even if you choose to drop it, this experience will help.

Dmitry.
