Hi, Thanks for your report. As this is more of a query than a bug, I will be closing the bug. See below for an explanation of Ubuntu's development process.
Ubuntu works by building on the work of the Debian distribution (www.debian.org). Every six months the Ubuntu developers mirror the packages in Debian Unstable. Ubuntu developers then make sure the packages are useable and polished. At a certain point the packages are "freezed" and no longer accept updates. This happens every six months. Inclusion of Alsa 1.0.16 depends on if Debian Unstable have it, or if it has features that the Ubuntu developers see as critical. I have checked the Debian Unstable package list and alsa 1.0.16 is there, so the best answer I can give is that it should be included in the next version of Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex). Once Intrepid Ibex is out the new version of Alsa will be installed by default. Lookin at the Alsa page on Launchpad there does not seem to be a single person responsible for Alsa in ubuntu but a few contributors (https://launchpad.net/alsa). If you have more concerns then I suggest you contact one of them.
