[PD] oscSend, pd argument types

hey,

i'm trying to use oscSend to send some numeric data to another application.

basically i've got a float between 0 and 1. the receiving application 
unpacks the packet, assuming it's a float. the problem is, oscSend packs 0 
and 1 as an int, but 0.000001 - 0.9999999 as a float. so on the receiving 
end i have to check if the type is an int or a float and unpack it accordingly.

i assume this is either caused by - the way pd passes around numbers 
internally, or - the way oscSend interprets incoming numbers.

is there any simple workaround?
