I am a network person.  When you use UDP, it is up to the protocol layer 
above to handle dropped packets.

For example, a volume knob should send a value, not just +1 or -1, and 
in a remote environment, it'd be good to send a full set of "settings" 
periodically.

... or each UDP command could require an ACK via UDP.

Or a few dozen other answers.

For voice, where latency is more important than dropped sound, you 
usually don't try to replace the lost packets.
