Pipewire channel indexing

[martibs]

So I've recently switched to Pipewire, and the channels on my audio interface are zero-indexed:

In computer programming, zero-based numbering makes a lot of sense. In audio enginering, it does not. It is a bit confusing when working with more than a couple of channels, and I'm used to "old Jack", where the first channel was "1". Is there any way to make Pipewire display the channels with the index starting from 1?

(Also, what is the [Monitor] part that is displayed? )

It seems that the indexing is not pipewire's fault. But it is possible to rename the ports.

edit: the monitor ports are used to "monitor" your output ports. Say your browser playing a youtube video was connected to playback_AUX0 and playback_AUX1. You could now record the youtube audio by listening to monitor_AUX0 and _AUX1

In case you haven't realised, you can double click the port names in qpwgraph and edit the name.

Hey, niiice! It even persist across reboots.

Do you also know how to make the items not appear so far away from each other?
