There has been some problem with ALSA getting their download site working properly.  The only offer ftp right now.  I'll leave most of the book as is for now as the ALSA home page and everyone else (Arch, etc) also points to the ftp site for sources.

There is a problem with alsa-firmware. https://alsa-project.org/wiki/Main_Page now only points to git.

I am proposing dropping alsa-firmware from the book.  There is nothing that references it.

Any objections?

I was going to say go ahead, but it looks like it installs firmware for Sound Blaster 16 cards, which is what Qemu and other virtualization software emulate. I'm not sure if we'll still be able to get sound out of VMs if we drop this.
