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,
