I have added and tested commands to request channel values on UDP.

:@[channel] [address] [port]

sends the value of a control channel as a string to an address/port
The msg is formatted channel::value

:%[channel] [address] [port]

same for string channels.

I have documented these in a new manual section.

It is very good to have the back-connection.
It means that client must have a UDP server listening on that port.
I will add that to my test app later and try out from my side as well.

One thing I did not test yet, how are the quotes handled, if you send for 
example

$i "sound" 0 1

Have you tested it? I guess if the quote marks are escaped in the client that 
sends UDP like

sendUDP("$i \"sound\" 0 1 ")

it should work?

yes, it wasn’t working at first, Steven found, but I fixed it. Quotes are handled as in the score.

Note that string channels do not need quotes.
