No, it starts at 0. The first "4" should be a leftover from the old 1 2 3

ah, yeah. In the early days there was an implementation where pd
just tried the "logical order" of interfaces by default.
So it tried jack, if it didn't succeed alsa, and if that failed too
OSS. This covered the different cases without startup options and
is a pretty good algorithm to figure out which audio interface the
user wants (at least you had sound after startup without fiddling with
the configuration).

Youre welcome, one of these days we all end up with a 64 bit processor,
so its not completely unselfish ..
