Ah, ok, Cirrus now makes sound boards :)

See the debian 2.6.23 changelog:
  * Remove binary only firmwares for:
...
    - Cirrus Logic (Sound Fusion) CS4280/CS461x/CS462x/CS463x

I.e. Debian dropped the driver because there are parts of it (the
firmware) which are not free. That is not likely to change until the
firmware gets freed.
