[linux-audio-dev] [ANN] liboscqs 0.0.3 - An OSC Query System

liboscqs is a library to provide a Query System and Service Discovery for applications using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol [1]. The initial proposal for the OSC Query System was provided by Andrew W. Schmeder and Matthew Wright in July 2004 [2]. The next paragraph has their abstract: A Query System is proposed for inter-application control scenarios. The queries enable namespace exploration, documentation, type-signature, return-type-signature and parameter constraint specification, current-value polling, identification of common interpretation maps via osc-schema, and error reporting. See [2] for the full paper describing their proposal. This project is the result [3] of the various discussions that followed, but remains very close to the original proposal. Besides a Query System, this library provides Service Discovery. This allows applications to annouce their presence locally and on a whole computer network. For more information, source tarballs, RPM packages, and Debian packages please see the homepage at: http://liboscqs.sourceforge.net/ - Martin Factfile: - liboscqs uses liblo [4] as an OSC server. Thanks Steve! - The liboscqs source uses the scons [5] build tool - liboscqs supports Service Discovery using either Howl or Spread - liboscqs has only tested on Linux so far, but the intent is to support all POSIX systems. - liboscqs is FSH 2.3 compliant.
