Since the firmware has been separated out into upstream's alsa-firmware, there shouldn't be any problems, but it's never too late to double-check. Thanks, Daniel Chen
I think most of the binaries are used to control some aspects of the hardware, not to load non-free firmwares. And a couple aren't depending of specific hardware to work.
Do we have to split the alsa-tools source into two packages, one free and one non-free/contrib? It will make it a bit harder.
