[linux-audio-user] PD and OSC

I've been invited to play with a 4-person laptop ensemble, and we're planning on setting up an ad-hoc wifi network between the computers and using OSC to send control messages between the computers, so that we can interact with eachothers patches. I think that everyone else is using Max/MSP and supercollider on powerbooks, and I'm going to be using my linux laptop with PD. I finally got the OSC external for PD installed(which was a pain until I just found a .deb package of it), but I can't find any documentation on how to use it. Has anyone used OSC in PD? I can't figure out how to tell it where to send the info, and if attach a number box to the input of "sendOSC", it gives me "error: sendOSC: no method for 'float'" every time I change the number. Thanks a lot! -spencer
