Good idea; these packages have exactly the same purpose.

I wonder what you're going to do about the multisound firmware files; the /lib/firmware/turtlebeach/*.bin files are just symbolic links to the actual files in /etc/sound that owners of these cards (if any such still exist) are supposed to have.
Ah, thanks for bringing this up to my attention. From where do these .bin-files come originally? Can we include them?
The stuff in emi_26_62 isn't used. (Er, wasn't there a regression introduced in the emi62 firmware in 2.6.27?)
I noticed that linux-firmware had one emi26 and one emi62 directory, as opposed to alsa-firmware that puts it in the emagic directory. So given your comment, I'll just drop them from the emagic dir.
