Actually, the best practice is to install your new drivers
in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/sound. depmod will automatically
detect these as newer than the other modules. This is how I test new
alsa builds on my test platforms.
The sound modules in linux-ubuntu-modules are modified from the stock
version of alsa that comes with the kernel in Ubuntu. The patches are
NOT for release into upstream alsa, as they have already been submitted
and are in 1.0.16 and later (I know, I wrote them).
