Port 1599 is for communication, Port 1598 is for the LO custom discovery
protocol (the comment in the appropriate file is wrong -- I've fixed
this), i.e. shouldn't need to be opened if you're using bonjour/avahi
(but would need to be opened for the android client to work afaict.
since it doesn't support avahi/bonjour yet?).

If these ports are taken then the server components will probably
silently fail (something that should probably be fixed tbh. Maybe we
should have a dialog shown on startup if any of the bind/listen/etc.
calls fails?).
