Yes, the order in which the final pads end up being exposed is random. I think
Stefan's approach was to make this deterministic, but it seems to be tricky.

Edward's idea is to add an identifier in the form of a tag, so that the
randomness doesn't matter. I like that idea, but using a tag is probably not
the most practical solution.

I think a utility function is needed that iterates the pipeline starting at a
given src pad, fetching the relevant names along the way to build the id.
