It might be that the controller is sending the numbers as strings
instead of floats or ints. [unpackOSC] will then just output them as
symbol elements. 

If that really is the case, you might be able to convert those
symbol-numbers to floats with zexy's [atof] which was added just a few
minutes ago. Check zexy from svn.
