Hi,
while I'm not a Debian user, I think I am able to point you at the potentional
root of this problem. I saw following line your dmesg:
Maestro3: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -2
The cause is probably the missing firmware for your card. The firmware can be
either embedded into the kernel or distributed alone, depending on the
CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL kernel config option. See following
lines from kernel's sound/pci/maestro3.c:
61 #ifndef CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL
62 MODULE_FIRMWARE("ess/maestro3_assp_kernel.fw");
63 MODULE_FIRMWARE("ess/maestro3_assp_minisrc.fw");
64 #endif
So in order for this card to work, you need either package with firmware
(alsa-firmware usually) or CONFIG_SND_MAESTRO3_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL option
enabled. I guess Debian switched this option from yes to no between kernel
versions.
