You also allow the client to include a return address
and OSC path
with each request. I have my doubts about the first: it allows the
client to use a different address for each call, and this could create
significant overhead for the server, having to lookup the hostnames.
The OSC return path probably makes sense in a dynamic environment as SL.
I can't see why a single client would be changing its address all the time
in practice. And a given hostname is only looked up once, and
the address info used by liblo is cached. When I implemented
this interface liblo did not yet support the source address feature,
and it still doesn't work right on OS X for me.
