I don't remember exactly what was off, whether it was just the display
or whether it resulted in different audio. Nevertheless it's annoying
and I don't quite know how to get rid of it entirely. Maybe display -0
or +0 as 0? In some languages you need to be tricky to achieve even
that, java comes to mind as it treats -0 == +0.
