[sendOSC] itself is not using a "local port" or source port, it just
connects to the remote host's destination port, sends its messages,
but doesn't read anything back. That's the job of [dumpOSC].

SC3 automatically uses a specific port, but Pd doesn't. Note that for
OSC using the UDP protocol, you can only run one application on one
machine's port. So if you run SC3 on port 57110, you will not be able
to create a [dumpOSC 57110] in Pd anymore, as that port, 57110,
already is taken by Supercollider. Instead you'll get a 'Address
already in use' error or something like that. Of course you can create
[connect localhost 57110( --- [sendOSC] chains, but you already did
that.

Ciao
