For the record: AFAIK DBUS is perfectly capable of networked operation. 
As far as I know Arnold Krille already has it running networked for one 
of his experiments. It's a rather undocumented feature though, and I 
could be wrong. I didn't try it myself (yet).

And even if it's not, there is no reason why a simple OSC<->lash bridge 
could not be built. IMHO that definitely beats writing a custom session 
manager.
