Bug#819147: linux-image-4.4.0-1-amd64: snd-ice1712.ko is missing, causes no sound with some M-AUDIO boards

Package: src:linux
Version: 4.4.6-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

It seems that the kernel module 'snd-ice1712.ko' is missing from the
linux-image-4.4.0-1-amd64 package.

$ find /lib/modules/4.4.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712 -name '*.ko'
/lib/modules/4.4.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice17xx-ak4xxx.ko
/lib/modules/4.4.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1724.ko

$ find /lib/modules/4.3.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712 -name '*.ko'
/lib/modules/4.3.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice17xx-ak4xxx.ko
/lib/modules/4.3.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1724.ko
/lib/modules/4.3.0-1-amd64/kernel/sound/pci/ice1712/snd-ice1712.ko

As a result, sound doesn't work anymore on my computer.
I have a M-AUDIO 2496 board (see below), whose kernel module is snd-ice1712.

$ lspci
<snip>
0a:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies Inc. ICE1712 [Envy24] PCI Multi-Channel I/O Controller (rev 02)
<snip>

As a workaround, I'm currently booting the previous linux version
(4.3.0-1-amd64), this way I can have sound again.

Thanks,
