Investigating further, I see that liblo can only send via UDP and UNIX 
sockets, not TCP. It handles its own sockets internally just like libOSC 
(the basis for sendOSC and dumpOSC in pd).
In pd, netsend and netreceive can do TCP as well. OSC is supposed to 
work on 'any' protocol, but AFAIK it hasn't been implemented on MIDI or 
RS232 or USB, probably for lack of interest. At least a TCP 
implementation would be useful for those who need guaranteed delivery of 
packets.
