lspci will show the rev number, which is the same as the firmware
version.

you're confused, but i don't blame you :) the ALSA driver doesn't
actually load firmware into the IO box, it loads a configuration file
into the IO box. This contents of the config data depend on the actual
firmware present on the PCI interface. nothing on linux updates the
actual firmware.

if you are talking about upgrading ALSA to 1.0.13, then you should be
just fine.
