Try http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/17/dept/3/idg/System_Tools, 
specifically (choose depending on your architecture):

alsa-firmware-1.0.13-1.fc7.ccrma.i386.rpm
alsa-firmware-1.0.13-1.fc7.ccrma.x86_64.rpm

That'll get you a step close with hana.fw, it should just end up in 
/lib/firmware if you install the rpm vs. extracting the file.
