I got a build error from this today, as the trace event tries to print
the jack "name" field. I've managed to get it to build again by printing
the "id" field in place of the "name". The name is normally assigned
from id in snd_jack_dev_register using

        snprintf(jack->name, sizeof(jack->name), "%s %s",
                 card->shortname, jack->id);

but that code is not called here at all. My patch will slightly
alter the output as a consequence, but I don't know if this change
is critical or not.
