The ASoC patch can be merged into your recent 2.6 kernel source with the
patch command.

i.e.

cd linux
patch -p1 < asoc.patch

The HG repository can be checked out using the instructions (link below)
on the download page and can be copied to your kernel sound directory.

The core code is the same in the patch and the HG repository. The only
difference between them is that the patch has some extra codec drivers
atm (that will be merged into the HG repo in the future).

You will however need to write a small machine driver that will glue the
codec driver to the pxa2xx i2s and audio DMA code (e.g. corgi.c,
poodle.c) and may have to write a codec driver if your codec is
currently unsupported.

The driver can be used by using any audio application that supports
alsa.
