I don't think so. As far as I understand it, the term "tracks" here refers
to (or is graphically represented by) vertical sliders in the volume
control dialog. While the term "mixers" might be used in a more technical
meaning, or simply to refer to a group of "controlled" tracks, or the other
way around, i.e. as a description of each of the (grouped) sliders. Not
sure though.

Obviously, "tracks" can be also used in the context of audio CD, but
apparently it's not the case here. Well, let's wait for developers'
comments for now.

Best,
