[PD] OSC limitations in Vanilla

[João Pais]

I think I had problems in the past for not having [routeOSC] and 
[packOSC] when sending/receiving from other software such as reaper, but 
I can't confirm anymore. Other softwares will work with mrpeach, but not 
necessarily with vanilla.

It's also convenient to use routeOSC for a cleaner patch structure, as 
it allows a route-style tree sorting.
