If you have a not very up-to-date mirror (hey, that turns out to be a
feature) listed in "/etc/apt/sources.list", 1.0.11-4 should still show
up in aptitude. You then could select 1.0.11-4 in "Versions" section of
a package description.

If you do not use aptitude (I highly recommend it), you can do it manually:

1. Download libasound2_1.0.11-4_ARCH_NAME-HERE.deb from [1];
2. Remove the package by running...
    "dpkg -r --force-all libasound2"
   ...as root;
3. Install previously downloaded deb by running...
    "dpkg -i DEB_NAME_NAME"
   ...as root.

P.S. There are other ways to do the trick, but these are my favorite.
