It occurs to me that we probably want something a bit more flexible
here than just a numeric ID - most of the use cases for having more than
one of the same device are for things like 5.1 or dual speaker amps for
stereo where it'd be much more convenient to have the machine driver be
able to add text based prefixes to the control names (eg, "Left" and
"Right").
