David, Thanks for this answer. Please consider that for the alsa-firmware in Medibuntu, we already have done a licence check: contacting vendors, checking that every file needed is included, and so, wipe out some of the firmwares.
The current version in Lucid + Medibuntu of alsa-firmware, alsa-tools, and alsa-tools-gui work out of the box for the cards I can test (RME and Echo) Perhaps it can be a good start to use the Medibuntu work to include the firmware into linux-firmware. Then, alsa-firmware should be depreciated for Ubuntu, and perhaps other distributions. Think that not a lot of sound cards still need firmware, but only professional sound cards, used for exemple with -rt kernel and Ardour at lowlatency for audio recording and producing. It is a way to give a credibility to Ubuntu and Gnu/Linux in that domain to make this kind of hardware work out of the box.
