Moving this message to the Dev forum, please direct your replies to the Dev list.

I haven't done this myself, and perhaps you've already looked at this, but:

particularly the source code to sendOSC and dumpOSC

Apologies if this is all stuff you've already looked at.

Did you actually plan to make a OSC server/client implementation in C in less than a few days without having done preliminary research?

OSC is nothing more (and nothing less) than udp with some format conventions. So first you'll have to program your udp server/client and then you'll have to add the parsing for OSC.

Searching around a bit, I guess there are several examples of how to use udp sockets, like

http://www.cs.rpi.edu/~hollingd/netprog/,

 go to 'UDP Sockets Programming', there are code examples.

some osc stuff I did myself, but that's in Java:

Well, really, it's a generic byte-oriented packet format. It's 

possible to stream OSC over TCP/IP. (I've done it.)

Of course, it's a convention and you can use it with any network protocol. I did it with tcp/ip too (with flash) but the original idea is that it'd be streaming and real-time, so use with udp is the most logical choice.
