Of course no guarantees that they'll do it, but you can try asking the Fedora
kernel maintainers if they can backport ALSA 1.0.15 to the Fedora kernels. If
you can give concrete hardware it improves support for (and it looks like
that's the case), they'll probably consider it. (And that's the advantage of
distro kernels, you often get stuff before the Linus kernel gets it, for
example for wireless drivers.)
