This late into the 16.04 cycle, this is not likely to happen. If there is an urgent fix that is needed to fix an important bug, then we can grab that patch and add it to the alsa-lib package in Ubuntu. Otherwise, at this late stage, less than a month to release, a new upstream is not necessarily going to be pulled in wholesale.
