Users can refer to ES by creation order (index, so es_out unique ID) for
sub-track= or video-track= when there's no fmt.id.
We'll still need a unique integer value on each ES then :/

Considering track selection not only at es_out level but also in sout
modules, it would also require to store that index on fmt (or pass along
with with sout_input Add calls).
