I think it would be useful to keep an explanation of how to install
CVS alsa-kernel into a Linux 2.6.x source tree.

BTW, why is there still an alsa-driver package?
Is there any difference between (a) installing alsa-kernel into Linux 2.6.x
and (b) installing alsa-driver in the normal way with the configure option
--with-kernel=somewhere/linux

Don't you mean "linux/sound/Documentation"?

So, perhaps below is a correct summary?

    cp -fR alsa-kernel/include/*  linux/include/sound
    mv -f alsa-kernel/include  out-of-the-way-temporarily-include

    mkdir -p linux/sound/Documentation/sound/alsa
    cp -fR alsa-kernel/Documentation/*  linux/sound/Documentation/sound/alsa
    mv -f alsa-kernel/Documentation out-of-the-way-temporarily-Documentation

    mv -f alsa-kernel/oss out-of-the-way-temporarily-oss

    mv -f alsa-kernel/scripts out-of-the-way-temporarily-scripts

    cp -fR alsa-kernel/*  linux/sound

Thanks,

William
