Which game server? I thought osc is about sound?

Does that mean an osc server will be running? Or does it have to be  
started by each activity?

There is an OSC package for Squeak at

http://map.squeak.org/package/61f807be-83a3-4944-bfa1-686ddac7153c

running in jhbuild. I saw chatter about this, but did anybody  
actually make it available?
