Just for clarity, OSC does not include MIDI, and it is a UDP based protocol.
If you're dealing with time accuracy needs on the level of milliseconds, you
will be disappointed. But if you just need a rough sync, or just to re-align
at certain points, send tempo information, etc, it might be what you need.

I'm developing an xtra for Director to send OSC messages. I'm part of a
collaboration for an installation that uses camera tracking data to control
Supercollider via OSC. I'll have a beta on the web soon, if anyone is
interested. I'll announce it.

Best,
