You may just create this tree from git repos (do not mix the sources):

alsa/alsa-driver (the alsa-driver.git tree from git.alsa-project.org or
 		  Takashi's tree from git.kernel.org)
alsa/alsa-kernel (the alsa-kernel.git tree from git.alsa-project.org or
                   Takashi's tree from git.kernel.org)

and do:

cd alsa/alsa-driver
./gitcompile

The script should automatically detect the linux-2.6 tree and do 
the out-of-kernel compilation.
