It should be possible to make a PD extension for the Csound API using flext. It would probaby be easier than getting a cross-platform OSC opcode set working. The ports on the Csound object could be audio in, audio out, MIDI in, MIDI out, and score events in.

If you weren't on the other side of the world, I want to come see this!

That's what I'm trying to do with those fl_controller and wx_controller 
examples that Michael and I made, I just haven't worked on them lately. 
I think a really cool way to do things would be to have a set of PD 
objects that could be used to directly access csound5 through api calls. 
One could then build guis really quickly in PD and unhinge them just as 
easily.
