"Full" support for timestamped bundles isn't really necessary -- as  
long as you can get at the raw data.  I would not make that a  
criteria for exclusion.  Bundles are a weird format anyways, that  
isn't "native" to C, being 64-bit fixed point, so it is probably a  
good thing that the library does not do too much with it.  You need a  
special library that does fixed point arithmetic or a data conversion  
to another type like double.

Since you specified C language support I recommend either liblo or  
the CNMAT Kit.  Both are open source so you are free to improve them  
as well. :)
