One of the problems I see in tracking the encoder number with the recording
is that this number is not cast in stone.  Any time you delete and re-add
tuner cards, the encoder numbers change.  It would be up to the user to
delete/add tuner cards in the exact same order each time in order to keep
the tuner IDs the same.
