If possible I would like to avoid making this a new transfer type.
And I think we can avoid this, above you wrote:
"The stream_id field is not set to 0 by libusb_fill_bulk_transfer"

This is true, but it is set to 0 by libusb_alloc_transfer, so it will
always be 0 for non stream transfer, unless an app re-uses a transfer
changing it from a bulk-stream one into a regular one.

Also note that we could simply change libusb_fill_bulk_transfer to
zero out the stream-id.

I've no objection to changing it into an uint32_t.
