Upstream has implemented (but not yet released) a potential solution:

https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-lib/commit/8580c081c25678d11278efcb61bd15cf44d0a225

I haven't tested it yet but my understanding is that it supports
specifying a single plugin directory via the ALSA_PLUGIN_DIR environment
variable.
