I am not a developer on either project, in fact I joined the Gnomoradio list 
to ask questions about libao (which I'm using in a different project), but I 
thought I'd throw in my two cents.  ;)

I want to build a wxPython client around the Gnomoradio protocol.  If there 
were to suddenly appear a C/C++ library that implemented only that protocol 
(hopefully including the iRATE protocol), I would be happy to throw some 
Python bindings around it.  Theoretically, bringing a wxPython app to the 
same feature level as the existing Gnomoradio app shouldn't be too tricky, 
the only catch being the protocol itself.

Conversely, I'd be happy to work up a Python implementation of the protocol if 
a standard were to be published, but that would be duplicating work, which I 
generally try to avoid.
