I have not released a new version but I have fixed the existing version
(bad boy!). This is a temporary fix till I get to actually release a new
version. If you are experiencing this problem you should be able to fix
it by erasing alsa-tools and alsa-firmware and reinstalling them from
Planet CCRMA. This should do it:
    rpm -e --nodeps alsa-tools alsa-firmware
    (the --nodeps to bypass the planetccrma-core-* dependency)
    apt-get -f install
that should reinstall both packages (hmmm, I'm not sure, you may want to
do an "apt-get clean" before to erase anything you may have in the apt
cache). 

With the new packages you should not need the workaround. 

To actually check that you have the newer version you could do a
"strings /usr/bin/hdsploader" and make sure the paths you see do not
include /usr/local.
