I'd like to use/develop-against/patch the ALSA drivers from:

However, that's a complete kernel tree rather than the subset that's available in snapshots at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/alsa/alsa-driver/
I figured I could just grab the above git, and also:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/alsa-driver-build.git
... to build just the ALSA driver modules. However, I can't see how to get gitcompile from there to build the sound subset of a complete kernel tree rather than e.g. something like:
http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=summary
Can somebody give me a clue? Thanks very much.
See alsa-driver/INSTALL, "Compilation from Linux kernel tree" section. In short, run utils/setup-alsa-kernel $YOUR_SOUND_GIT_TREE_APATH then gitcompile can be used.
It's not required. The alsa-driver/Makefile handles both alsa-kmirror and alsa-kernel trees now.
Does anyone use the 'copy' mode of the setup-alsa-kernel script?
