Yes, I am going to do this, but can we go about it as follows, merge this
patch with duplicated code,
then I think over it a bit and then submit new patch which refactors a lot
of the duplicated code,
also I don't think going ahead with making a base class is a good idea as,
there's much functional difference between two codes,
they rather have isolated code that repeats, but no so much as to roll it
into a class.

Yes, it is guaranteed if we don't pass it a camera-name which we aren't see
here:
https://git.linuxtv.org/libcamera.git/tree/src/gstreamer/gstlibcamerasrc.cpp#n237

I think this won't be possible unless we add code to the
gstreamer-element, @Nicolas
Dufresne <nicolas at ndufresne.ca> can
you answer this please, I am not sure :)

This sounds like a nice idea, I could store the camera-name of the specific
camera and set the camera-name property
of the libcamera element and start on it, but now I don't a multicamera
setup.

Okay something like a vector to hold the elements and then a map to hold
<element name, unique name>.
But this is a test code, is this fancy stuff really needed ? !!
