Smith,

It is always better to have a separate user/home  for ASM. However
some cases (like the new 11g bug 5728245) you may have to keep the ASM
and RDBMS in the same home under same user though 11g advocates
separate users for CRS,ASM and DB.

Coming to your original question, at present there is no  ASM version
of database binaries. You may have to do a comple rdbms software
install in the ASM home. Hopefully this may change in future with an
ASM only software install by stripping the unwanted
tools/utilities/libraries in the ASM Home.
