Opaque IDs only work for applications that were designed to make use of them and have logic to map them onto something the user can understand. We need something that can work with a generic application, starting with ffmpeg itself. Something that will work if only a few components (muxers and demuxers maybe) know about these strange layouts, and most components only look at the standard part of the layout and behave as they do now or with the straightforward extension to the more powerful API. -- Nicolas George
