Thanks, Elimar.  Could you say a little more about this?  Looking at
[1] and [2] I don't see any information about an alsa-firmware package
being requested and progress in making it happen.  And the failure
mode here (crashes, mostly) does not match my expectation for how a
non-buggy operating system would report missing firmware.  Perhaps
there is room for people to help in that direction.
