I can't see something this critical as a 'wishlist'. It seems to be (from other bugs / questions filed in lp regarding ubuntu) a problem that is across all distributions of Ubuntu.
Bottom line is, the alsa firmware drivers are not installed by default (and selecting them in the Synaptic package manager) only installs 'selected' sound card firmware. I don't know who is supposed to do this, but can this be elevated to the person who maintains sound and alsa so they can action this? Then the next version of Ubuntu Studio, and Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Mythbuntu, will work properly without 'workarounds'. Please refer: Question #92087 Also, looking through the 'alsa-driver' part of launchpad, alsa-firmware does not seem to be part of it. This kind of 'bug' will affect all soundcards that need firmware to be loaded installed at the time they are booted up. These will typically be the higher end cards that are used for audio recording and production. -- Alsa No firmware for EMU card https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/510889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Testers, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Studio.

I access to alsamixe, play sounds, run Jack in RT 48KHz. (I'm not sure it's fully fonctionnal, because in previous realease I was on Ubuntu-studio 8.04LTS with beta ALSA drivers for my card, so I can't compare). dmesg log : [ 23.220586] EMU10K1_Audigy 0000:01:0a.0: PCI INT A -> Link[APC1] -> GSI 16 (level, high) -> IRQ 16 [ 23.220683] emu1010: Special config.
