Thanks, we better start reading the manual.

However, on OSX with JackOSX the csound client fails to
connect (I tried with 'Built-in Audio:in'). The name of the
client to connect seems correct, but it does not connect,
so the patchbay has to be used. This is probably a
shortcoming
of JackOSX rather than Csound5. I remember trying JackOSX
in the past and it was rather dodgy. Never looked as stable
as the
Linux version. It seems to have improved now in this latest
versions,
but the connection problem seems to be there.

Noticed as well that there is a module for sending audio
over the
network in it. With this, OSC (or Tclcsound), there are
great
possibilities for a 'GridCsound'... worth a try!

I am intrigued by this. Looking at the Jack OSX documentation more 
closely as well as mailing list archives from linux-audio-dev, it seems 
that NetJack can only work for two computers running Jack OSX or two 
computers running NetJack Linux, but at present time they are not 
compatible.

However, it seems that such an idea should be trivial using the UDP 
protocol contained within TclCsound. I would be interested if anyone 
could elaborate on techniques to achieve such an end, of course only if 
it is possible.
