In linux-2.6 2.6.23-1, the binary-only firmware in this driver was removed (see
the package changelog), due to discovered licensing issues. This was also
removed from the alsa-source package to resolve bug 483918.
alsa-firmware isn't distributed by Debian. Building maestro3 from alsa-source
package >= 1.0.17-1 isn't possible.

the maestro driver from a vanilla one.
