Ahem, auto-reply, just to announce I didn't had understood that -a:
could be followed by a string, and that this string was called
"chainname". So it's working perfectly, and there's no error in the doc.

I've checked the code a bit, but didn't find any easy way to get op
giving their name to the OSC path, directly. It's annoying, as if you,
for example, choose to use another op before the others, all your OSC
controls upon that chain will be false.... In my particular case, it
obliged me to make 2 chains for each "strip", the second beginning with
-eadb, so that I'm sure I will act on the attenuation by sending an osc
message at the 1st op.
