So this is the approach I'll follow from now on. I'm used to the kernel compilation process, but I prefer to keep using the debian stock compiled one as much as possible, :). BTW, the only caviar for this, is the need to keep looking at the alsa web to see if there are any new updates to the firmware, the same way one needs to keep looking at the ipw2100/ipw2200 web pages to find new updates... In fact although Florian mentioned version 1.0.14, the web already had 1.0.15, but it might be that the yamaha firmware itself didn't suffer any changes from the 1.0.14 to 1.0.15, :)... However then there's no need to play around with the kernel, :)...
