You only need to use an up-to-date kernel to get latest ALSA drivers. Assumed a distro doesn't provide the latest kernel, you need to build a kernel. It's easy to build kernels, but unlikely that it's needed. Start with a distro that has got a huge community and automagically set up audio. I recommend to use Ubuntu Studio and once you're experienced using Arch Linux or a similar distro that is stable and does follow upstream.
