So the trace class strings are deprecated, Yan was going to export all the trace
object names + IDs via debugfs (like DAPM widgets already do). rmbox should read
these at startup so it could then lookup comp name from the ID number embedded
in trace data.

Yan, do you have parts of this implemented ?
