Yes probably we will settle on a TCP socket because it provides
remote host capability: we want Windows boxes running the GUI
driving large headless racks that run LinuxSampler.

Yes, basically define a simple communication protocol 
(write sort of RFC for it)
(I'd opt for something that is HTTP-like, eg. client sends command
server exectures command and sends response (or sends only back
 internal status data)).
The protocol will be used by the GUI plus we can make a few small
C examples that show you how to communicate with the engine.
That way anyone can write their own frontends, scripts etc that
communicate with LinuxSampler.
