[PD] Audio Preferences device list usability

Hi,

Does anyone know where the device names that populate the Audio Settings preferences panel come from?

For example on my Mac, I'm getting things like:

	(0)Built-in Microph

What does "(0)" mean? Not the zero'th device, because for Output devices, both outputs are prefixed with "(0)".

Why is "Microphone" truncated to "Microph"?

Are these names coming from Portaudio? Or is Pd additionally mangling the names?

best,

Jamie
