Sounds like we should have a look at that

it is however quite dangerous for a driver to do so.
a better interface is a generic firmware loading API (or as generic as one
can be made, anyway) with a userspace firmware loader.

Anyway, I
believe this goes for a bunch of other cards as well, so
no news here, really.
there are plans to try to generalize the
"firmware" loading for
ALSA drivers to load stuff from a regular file. the wavefront
driver does this. not many people know that a linux driver can call
open/close/read/write. its pretty cool.
