Yes agreed. PTPd has auto-discovery:
http://ptpd.sourceforge.net/ . It
would be a perfect basis for this stuff if only someone would port it to
mac os x and windows.
The website for the netclock project is here:
http://netclock.slab.org/ . So far we've got sync between
supercollider, Perl and haskell, and I think Graham's got some way with
getting it to work with pure data too. We've also got a patch submitted
to liblo to allow a C netclock library. Much to do and tidy up
though...
