Very excited for more OSC development as I use reaper live with tablet control!

Using 0 for the send port means that instead of sending to a specific host/port, it will send to whatever host/port was sending to REAPER (on the port specified by the receive section).
Using 0 for the receive port means that instead of listening on a particular port, just listen for replies from the host being sent-TO (that host/port specified in the send section).
You should only use 0 for one of those ports, if you did both then you'd have no way of communicating with anything.
Perhaps we should update the UI for this. Here are the 6 use cases and their current equivalents:
- Mode: disabled
current equivalent: unchecked send, unchecked receive boxes
- Mode: separate send/receive
configurable options: receive port, send host/port
current equivalent: checked send, host/port specified, checked receive, receive port specified
- Mode: send to remote
configurable options: send host/port
current equivalent: checked send, host/port specified, checked receive, receive port=0
- Mode: send to remote (ignore responses)
configurable options: send host/port
current equivalent: checked send, host/port specified, unchecked receive
- Mode: receive from remote
configurable options: receive port
current equivalent: checked send, send port=0, checked receive, receive port specified
- Mode: receive-only from remote (do not send)
configurable options: receive port
current equivalent: unchecked send, checked receive, receive port specified
