It saves some steps in shell scripts, avoiding having to correlate
stream index with id.
Any more comments?
I find this somewhat feeble. How does it justify including the stream id
(something that few formats support) more than any other field of the
stream? If this was a relational database, you would be about to commit
heresy.
stream_index isn't fixed in fftools for a given live MPEG-TS input
across instances so can't be reliably used to id streams. This field
can. Same can't be said for other fields.
