For userspace to know about certain capabilities of the current platform card, add tags to the components string that it can use to enable support for that audio path. In case of USB offloading, the "usboffldplybk: 1" tag

same question as before, do we need spaces?
I think spaces are currently used as a delimiter, so I'll remove the spaces.
And if we have controls, why do we need component strings? The component string is not dynamic to the best of my knowledge, this could be problematic if the card is no longer capable of supporting this stream, while a control can be updated at will.
Maybe I misunderstood your comment here:

At the time, I didn't include the kcontrols on the USB SND portion of it, which was added after this series. My interpretation was that there were userspace entities that could query for general information about what the card supports based on the components string, or sound card name. I treated this as an independent identifier, since the change to add the offload capable jack was present.
Thanks Wesley Cheng
