[chuck-users] limit on number of OSC addresses you can listen to?

And finally (?), in case anyone finds this thread and not the
electro-music forum postings, I found the listenAll() method of OscIn in
Appendix D of Ajay Kapur, Perry Cook, Spencer Salazar & Ge Wang,
_Programming for Musicians and Digital Artists_.  It seems to solve the
problem:

  OscIn oin;
  OscMsg msg;
  12001 => oin.port;
  oin.listenAll();
  while (true) {
    oin => now;
    while ( oin.recv(msg) )
      {
	<<< "got message:", msg.address, msg.typetag >>>;
	for(int n; n < msg.numArgs(); n++) {
	  if(msg.typetag.charAt(n) == 'i') // integer
	    <<< "arg", n, ":", msg.getInt(n) >>>;
	  else if(msg.typetag.charAt(n) == 'f') // float
	    <<< "arg", n, ":", msg.getFloat(n) >>>;
	  else if(msg.typetag.charAt(n) == 's') // string
	    <<< "arg", n, ":", msg.getString(n) >>>;
	}
      }
    1::ms => now;
  }
