The ALSA code in the vanilla kernel is often delayed from the latest status of ALSA tree, sometimes for monthes. So, the driver which is being developed and modified isn't suitable to push to the kernel. Otherwise you'll get only buggy and totally obsolete code there. That's the very reason why we keep it in alsa-driver tree locally. When you need the driver, you can compile alsa-driver by yourself. Anyway, the azx code will be moved to alsa-kernel tree in this or next month (I hope).
