Restivo:
Does OSC support "reflection"? i.e., is
there any way in OSC to
interrogate a device and get back a list of all available parameters that
the device supports?
OSC is connectionless, at least if the implementation uses udp as the
transport-protocol (which most do). So there is no real way to even return
values. Most apps send return-values to the host/port the query came from,
but if that fails or is not handled (as the current state of ofqf...),
nothing really happens.
If OSC ain't waiting for return packets it's not UDP:s fault. You specify
destination _and_ source port in UDP just like in TCP. Ergo. You state your
port that you are going to receive on. So. There's a real way to return
traffic.
