Ardour is probably one of the most OSC-controllable audio applications
around..
http://manual.ardour.org/using-control-surfaces/controlling-ardour-with-osc/

Edit > Preferences > Control Surfaces > Open Sound Control

Then in a terminal run

  oscsend localhost 3819 /ardour/add_marker

(By default ardour listens on port 3819, oscsend comes with liblo-tools)

Now, we've reduced the problem to make yor footswitch send OSC :)
depends on the footswitch. Could be a small python script, or ...

Cheers!
