This is not the right package, the right one is just "alsa-firmware", which is 
evidently not packaged in Debian. You can get it from the alsa project, e.g.: 
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/

Please note that this package does not contain the module, only firmware, 
which is needed by the in-kernel module. (The firmware needs to be installed 
somewhere where the kernel finds it, usually something like this:
/lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw 
/lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw)
