The tascam firmware (and other files existing in the original alsa-firmware package) are still missing in the ubuntu packages.
Additionally, there seem to be some inconsistencies between udev-scripts and the usx2yloader, expecting firmware files in different locations:
"/usr/share/alsa/firmware/usx2yloader/" (udev scripts and others)
"/lib/firmware/usx2yloader/" (usx2yloader)
I'm willing to help sorting this one out, unless there's a reason why the files for /usr/share/alsa/firmware are not packaged.
The firmware portion of this bug is still open:
