Check if you are behind a firewall that blocks the git protocol on port 9418. The http version is there for people who are behind such a firewall.
That being said, the http version should be documented on the git page, rather than just on the mailing list at http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.alsa.devel/53959/focus=54060 (Nudge to Jaroslav)
And, yes, you can base a patch off the http repository.

Says but doesn't work: $ git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/alsa-driver/.git/ git.alsa-project.org[0: 212.20.107.51]: errno=Connection refused fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection refused) fetch-pack from 'git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-driver.git' failed.
Well, this works: git clone http://git.alsa-project.org/http/alsa-driver.git alsa-driver
Is this the right repository for submitting patches?
Thanks!
