Unfortunately a backport isi not possible, so far as I know. The newer alsa-plugins 1.0.18 requires alsa-lib 1.0.18, and policy for backports is that libraries generally aren't backported.

In addition, ia32-libs contains libasound2-plugins 1.0.17 for intrepid, yes I know it installs a lot of other stuff as well, but if that package already provides the alsa plugins, why backport
another just for a 32-bit package that is independant of ia32-libs? Functionality and fixes I can understand.
