You do not need to recompile the kernel, you need the appropriate binary
firmware blob.  Get the firmware package 

  ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/firmware/alsa-firmware-1.0.16.tar.bz2

and run ./configure && make && make install

After this you should have the following files present:

  /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw
  /lib/firmware/ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw

Then, run rmmod snd_maestro3 and modprobe snd_maestro3 again.

HTH,
Gabor
