i am happy to correct you here.
OSC bundles are about logical time: each message in an OSC bundle will
be at received at the same logical time (bundles have time stamps,
messages don't).
it has nothing to do with broadcasting or the like.


however i doubt whether bundles make so much sense here: i would just
send "raw" data over the link (a list of floats you want to display;
probably 2 lists, if you want an xy-scope), instead of sending x,y-pairs
in separate messages (just think of all the OSC-selectors you will have
to send with no additional information)

another idea would be to use audio directly via some audio-routing
framework (jack)....
