OK, I understand either the additional translated_label or untranslated_label
is not an option because of ABI.

However I may not understand your suggestion exactly. Please let me confirm the
possible way.

If I correctly understand, it seems gst-mixer will do like:

gst_mixer_set_label (track, "Volume");
gui_label = _("Volume");

If yes, how to determine the track is the "Volume"?
As you know, the current gst-mixer compares the track->label to determine the
icon.
Could you give me advices?

In this sugggestion, which do you expect track->label is C(English) or
localized as the specification?
If track->label is English, I think we need an additional API, e.g. 

gui_label = gst_mixer_get_translation (track->label);

If track->label is localized, I think we also need the English label because
g_ascii_isalnum() does not work for multibyte chars as I mentioned in the
previous comment.

I guess the another way is gst-mixer use the icon hint instead of track->label.

What do you think?

Thanks.
