As an unix guy, I'd skip the encoding and send the whole thing as
space separaed text, since then you could simply do a telnet to the
other host and run it by hand. Compare e.g. to smtp.
The performance loss of printf() and scanf() at sending/receiving
sides are minimal, and plain text is much easier to debug.
But, this is of cause moot, since OSC is already there.

I see no problem of simulating this on one "master" pc and "two"
slaves, and there is only the low cpu performance that is specific to
the embedded controller. The protocols can be developed on ordinary
pc's with their on-the-motherboard sound cards. And hopefully the
netjack people solves it for us.
