Is there support for A3D on ALSA?

If you're talking about Aureal Vortex2 (au8830), then no, not at
the moment. We're not sure if there ever will be.
As you probably know, Aureal went bankrupt and got bought out by
competitor Creative Labs. Creative Labs refuses to support the
Vortex2 anymore, either via driver updates or by releasing
developer specs on it. I imagine Creative's goal is to force
all Vortex2 owners to buy new soundcards and hope they buy
SBLive cards.
Aureal did release a partially closed-source OSS driver for the
Vortex2. Currently some hackers at
http://aureal.sourceforge.net/ are working on reverse
engineering those drivers so they can rewrite completely
open-source drivers from scratch. So far, there's no word on
how long they expect that to take...
