Not sure what you mean by the gnome connection. I would recommend against
running gnome (or KDE) when doing audio work, but that's just my angle on
it.
Some of the current freedesktop stuff requires an MDNS server, it was just
an example that its becming widly used on linux. FC3 runs an MDNS demon at
boot time for example.
Using an MDNS server means that you dont have to worry about implicitly or
explicitly starting an OSC discovery demon, or anything like that.
Thanks for explaining. Your point is that regular desktop machines will be
using MDNS already, or will soon.

Yes, I did see that one. Am a bit confused by their use of _osc._udp versus
osc.upd in a URL. They are different entities, but they look soo similar.
Can you explain how they relate, please?

spec is too strong a word. I think theres a working group looking at
it, but the binding of an OSC service into zeroconf is pretty aparent in
any case. There is a proposed specification for discovery
of OSC services that was
presented at hte OSC conference, I intend to support it in liblo at some
point in the future.
Do you have a link to this spec? Was it the one based on zeroconf? To me this
seems like a lot of overhead for a relatively small gain.
OTOH it seems like a very flexible and future-proof solution.
IIUC Gnome allready requires libhowl and mDNSResponder, so its not as
burdonsome as it could be.
