The reason for that was to prevent churn on e.g. song changes where
streams may disappear for a moment before being replaced (this might not
be likely in a practical situation where the same stream is reused, but
the reasoning is sound I think).

I also agree fully on the general need to make things more "unique" but
IMO that will require a less "kludgy" solution of using virtual sinks to
apply said filters.

So I won't be upset if this is a short lived module and it can be
replaced later, but hopefully it'll do for the time being :)

Cheers
