Title: Fork of vvopensource with MIDI timestamps and OSC service type option

Hi,

Firstly, big thanks for your work on vv, I've found it real useful in my own project! In working on that project (it's a sequencer for OSX) I made this fork with a few updates to vvopensource – just thought I would send it over and see if it's of interest. No problem if it doesn't fit with your plan, I can keep it separate.

The main changes I've made are:

**MIDI messages always get sent with a timestamp**
I was actually kind of surprised this wasn't done already, as many people would consider it an invalid message to do so (although most software won't care)

**You can specify that timestamp**
This means you can schedule MIDI messages ahead of time (in my sequencer app I have a 10ms buffer) to make sure they get there exactly when they should.

**OSC service type can be specified**
This was fairly unique to my use case. I'm working with the monome hardware which for some reason shows up as '\_monome-osc.\_udp' rather than the usual '\_osc.\_udp' I'm guessing it could be useful in other cases too though.

**Note**
I'm not an iOS developer so I haven't checked that side of it to see if I broke anything :)

So yeah take a look and let me know what you think!

Mark
