Silverlight communication with a desktop process

If there was a process on the user's desktop, would Silverlight be able to communicate with it? Is there a way to send messages from SL to a process that runs in the background and vice versa?

P.S. I am particularly interested in non-OOB SL.

Running OOB, with Elevated Trust would allow to open a socket connection to arbitrary destinations, including a local process hosting a listen socket. Otherwise I see no way how to do it.

No. Silverlight will not allow you to deal with anything outside the web browser in non-OOB.
