Yes, it will install on extra/ if you are building with the M=sound/usb
option. I guess the 'official' solution is to use the INSTALL_MOD_PATH
environment variable.

But what I do instead is I overwrite
/lib/modules/<kernel_version>/kernel/sound/usb/snd-usb-audio.ko with the newly
built one, and then I run depmod.

I noticed that on your dmesg logs, that the warning was nowhere to be
found.
