yes, alsa-kernel is just for update of 2.6.x tree, and it doesn't
include the experimental new drivers included in alsa-driver tree.
alsa-driver tree also includes bunch of wrappers for 2.2/2.4 kernels.

that's why i wrote above to remove the sentense.
if you copy the files of alsa-kernel, you'll have no such new
drivers.
