In linux-2.6 2.6.23-1, the binary-only firmware in this driver was removed (see the package changelog), due to discovered licensing issues. This was also removed from the alsa-source package to resolve bug 483918. alsa-firmware isn't distributed by Debian. Building maestro3 from alsa-source package >= 1.0.17-1 isn't possible. > > Custom Kernels can be build with maestro3. > > >From upstream sources, I assume?
