Thank you sincerely for your response, Clemens.
Please forgive my noobness, but is a full kernel compilation necessary? I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 with 4.4.0-57-lowlatency kernel and my module is closely based on the existing mtpav driver. I believe I know where to place my source file, and what modifications to make to the appropriate Kconfig and Makefile. I recall being able to specify which modules I wanted to compile in arguments to ./configure (followed by make modules), but I don't see that option anymore. Please, could someone point me in the direction of a valid, step-by-step procedure? Every set of instructions that I've been able to find seems to now be out of date.
Thank you again, in anticipation (and apologies too!)

Don't use that. The ALSA drivers are part of the kernel; just compile the kernel normally.
git clone git://github.com/tiwai/sound.git
This is a kernel repository.
