Next on the list is alsa-base.

Note, however, that updating it won't bring you the new 1.0.25 drivers,
updating your kernel will, as Elimar said.

alsa-base will no longer be part of the alsa-source packages, the ability
to build new alsa-modules packages will be dropped in agreement with the
release and kernel teams, who hate the packages as much as we do.

So yes, you might see a new alsa-base package, but getting updated drivers
will need to happen via kernel backports or some other means.
