Hello Elimar, Jordi

I am original submitter of this bug [1] and I contact you as admins of pkg-alsa-devel
  
To be confused by your answer here, I would like to ask what is your attitude to the process of including missing alsa-firmwares to linux-firmware-non-free  package?

I think it was quite natural that alsa-devel has been asked for opinion and help or am I wrong? 

Sadly this process seems to be stuck now :(

Best regards
