because there are almost no standards for OSC. this is not a protocol
like MIDI that defines semantics. there is no standard way, for
example, to tell an "OSC supporting app" to "start playing". an OSC
sender has to know a lot about the OSC receiver. this severely limits
OSC's usefulness (but does not make it zero by any means).

could there be? if someone added OSC port support to JACK (which is
relatively easy to do), sure.

ardour4 will support this. for whatever that's worth.
