I think there must be support in 'virtual' I/O slaves like the audio CD
slave or digital camera slave for 'internal' names that are never visible
from the GUI, but act as aliases for the GUI names. These internal names
can then be untranslated.

Does such a thing already exist? If not, would that solve the problems
here?
