Unless patches are crashers, they likely won't make it into FC5 without
being in the upstream kernel.  Work with the ALSA project to make sure
that patch gets into the upstream kernel ASAP, and it will show up in
Fedora quite soon after that.

Part of this is for quality reasons; if the patch makes it into the
kernel, then it's likely it's good enough.  It's also for API reasons
and maintainability.  The less different Fedora kernels are from
upstream "vanilla" kernels, the less work it is to update Fedora kernels
every time a new upstream kernel is released.
