Thanks Sven,
In 11g I also found :

SQL> select tracefile from v$process where pid=32;
TRACEFILE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
/u01/app/oracle/diag/rdbms/tinf11/TINF11/trace/TINF11_ora_868504.trc

Hi Laurent

They is an easier way.
Update to Oracle 11g and use:

select value from v$diag_info where name=’Default Trace File’;

Greetings

I just found another valuable information to find out file name without oradebug :

http://blog.psftdba.com/2006/12/retrieving-oracle-trace-files-via.html

SELECT LOWER(d.name)||'_ora_'||p.spid
||DECODE(p.value,'','','_'||value) tracefile_name
FROM v$parameter p, v$database d, sys.v_$session s, sys.v_$process p
,(SELECT sid FROM v$mystat WHERE rownum=1) m
WHERE p.name = 'tracefile_identifier'
AND s.paddr = p.addr
AND s.sid = m.sid
