[PD] Pd's jack outputs are numbered from zero onwards?

[Peter P.]

Hi list,

just discovered that Pd's jack audio ouput ports are numbered from zero
onwards. Is this very intentional? Can't seem to think of any other
software that does it, and system ports such as soundcard ports seem to
be numbered from 1 onwards, making it easy to tip over the off-by-one
error (have movie dialoge come out of the sub woofer perhaps).

Thanks for all oppinions!
P
