snd-maestro3 is a Linux kernel module supporting ESS Technology's Maestro3/Allegro PCI audio controller. It is an ALSA driver provided in the Linux kernel.
In linux-2.6 2.6.23-1, the binary-only firmware in this driver was removed, due to discovered licensing issues. This was also removed from the alsa-source package to resolve bug 483918.
