as jesse said no. bindings in ardour are not mapped to abstract track
"positions" but to specific tracks. there is one exception to this
right now, but you will likely not have encountered it. MMC Track
Record Enable messages include a track ID, and this has to be mapped
somehow to an ardour track. these two approaches will have to
harmonized.
