   Hey! No fair! That's the toy i have been wanting to build, 
pending a good IPC. So i am going to sue you for, oh, say, $10 gigabucks.
Just let me talk to my firm, Leech, Crumball, Leech.
   Anyway, note that soundscape defined their own IPC standard 
based on UDP. It is an interesting design. It is also an example 
of what could happen if we don't decide on something soon: a million
different IPC standards.
   SIGH.
