Comment:

 Hi thorbrink, this is unlikely to change ... the `id` is set dynamically
 so that it is guaranteed to be unique. If `[audio|video]` were to take an
 `id` param, it would probably represent an attachment's id in the
 database. Currently, the implementation is URL-based. This allows you to
 write the shortcodes by hand and easily point at an asset stored on a CDN.
 It is also difficult to associate sub-attachments through our current UI
 by linking attachment IDs in a parent-child relationship.

 I'll leave this open in case you or others can come up with a clever idea
 to support custom HTML IDs.
