Eliot,

First, thanks for your interest in Ubuntu and Linux! I'm always happy to see hardware manufacturers show their interest. I'm just a volunteer, but I did have a look at the alsa-firmware package a while ago, and I didn't see a proper license notice for the asihpi firmware. 
So if you could put a compressed file with all firmware inside, and also include a license statement which clearly allows anyone to redistribute and use the firmware as needed, that would be a great first step. (I'm not a license expert, so the exact wording of the license is beyond my knowledge.)

The second step would be to try to integrate this firmware into linux-
firmware, since that one is included in Ubuntu. I could try to help you
with that when I have some free time, but if you need it to happen
within a predictable time frame (i e, included in Ubuntu 10.04), please
contact Canonical directly.
