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.
