I bumped my head against this problem AGAIN (5 years later) when I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04.2 on my studio recording computer. Lo and behold, still no alsa-firmware package for soundcards.

It would appear that the idea that the alsa firmware be iincluded in the kernel is not going to happen.

All that is required is that a package of the alsa-firmware be built for Debian. I'll do it myself if necessary, if it will help others to get their sound cards working.

I don't see why the sound firmware is left out when there are a thousand and one non-free firmware packages available for obscure TV cards, etc. etc.

So, how can we get a package built?
