Hi!
I can't answer regarding the Finnish texts to the FSI course, but if you're looking for additional audio materials in Finnish, the first few chapters to the book "Basic Course in Finnish", by Meri Lehtinen, published a number of years ago by Indiana University, are available on-line at:
http://languagelab.bh.indiana.edu/archive/finnish.html
The book, some 650 pages in large format, is not easily available now, being long out of print, but it's a very comprehensive book with a similar format to the traditional FSI courses, so if your university library has a copy, you can download the first few chapters of the audio for free from the site above. (They also sell the entire audio set for a fairly reasonable price of about 60 dollars US, as I recall.)
