I guess that's what needs to be done.  The difficulty is with
pointers in struct dsp_segment_desc and struct dsp_module_desc.
You'll have to replace those with integers (presumably file
offsets) and concatenate the structures in the binary file while
ensuring proper alignment.  It seems quite doable but I don't
need the SND_CS46XX_NEW_DSP features myself and cannot test them.

In the patch, I added a MODULE_FIRMWARE line that should make it
possible for initrd-building scripts to include the firmware.
However, in the 2.6.26 initrd image I have here, the snd-cs46xx.ko
module itself is not included; presumably because the driver isn't
needed for booting.  So I think it would be pointless to include
the firmware there.
