Sorry. Marked this one as duplicate of the "won't fix" bug "Ubuntu is missing the alsa-firmware package". It cannot be fixed, due to licensing/copyright issues with distributing the firmwares in binary form.
See http://packages.medibuntu.org/changelogs/pool/non-free/a/alsa-firmware/current.jaunty/copyright for some explanation.
The only workaround currently existing is to use repositories/packages from medibuntu or ubuntu studio.
