This should be a followup to bug#458010, but it has already been closed and archived:

When using debian's 2.6.24 source, or using debians 2.6.24 compiled
package, I still don't have a working maestro3 soundcard.  2.6.24 comes
with alsa 1.0.15:
Feb 11 00:25:37 scuzzie kernel: Maestro3: probe of 0000:00:08.0 failed with error -2

On the other hand, 2.6.22-3-686 comes with version 1.0.14, and it does
detect and work:

As explained previously, we removed the firmware for this device because
the licence does not allow us to distribute it.  It is labelled as
licenced under the GPLv2, but since no source code is provided we cannot
fulfil the terms of that licence.  Closing the bug, as it cannot be
fixed.
