It is. It is unique for a given system.

Well, really that's IMO too late in the game for such an addition. If you need 
something ad hoc for now use the GenericInterface to make your own IDs and 
hide this workaround deep into Phonon for now. :-)

I'd like to reevaluate this and go toward a real solution post-4.0 (the video 
guys have similar concerns).

Regards.
