I don't think it's weird for a lowpass filter to go under 20Hz. They are not restricted to audio signals.
I use them a lot to smooth control signals, or to replace line~.
(I really hate line~ to control sound amplitude or preset transition, it's way too robotic)

When you set the cutoff to 0Hz, the output freezes to its current value. It won't magically decay to 0.
