You mean if I have e.g. USB headsets of the same brand and type. Yes. But they 
get the same name, the same icon and have the same initialPreference anyway. 
There's nothing to tell them apart and for what I'm concerned I actually want 
those to be the same.

The missing uniqueIdentifier in Solid is not a showstopper, sure. But I need a 
unique identifier to fix a showstopper. Many people by default have no sound 
because I cannot order the audio devices correctly initially.
