I didn't know anything about it, you know far more, thanks
for the info.

Currently, there is no other way of sending audio signals
over
the network with csound. Tclcsound does not handle audio,
as the language is too sluggish for that (I have not tried,
but
I have my doubts). Like OSC, you can send control data with
it. But this does not mean that a host for network audio
cannot
be built; with the API, a C or C++ (or even Java) Networked
Csound is very conceivable.

I just thought that the Jacknet thing could be a cheap way
of doing
it (with Tclcsound or OSC providing the control data
channels).
It might not be.

In any case, I have been thinking a bit about a distributed
Csound
host for clusters, using MPI. I have put an application to
use a
super-duper facility they have here in Ireland for some
experiments.
I hope they grant it!
