I did no copying at all. First I built a kernel without AlSA or OSS,
just basic sound supprt (soundcore). Do not run "make clean"
afterwards.

Then I checked out alsa-driver and alsa-kernel into a working
directory. My bash_history shows it like this: 

export ALSACVS=':pserver:ano...@al...:/home/cvsroot/alsa'
cvs -d $ALSACVS login
cvs -z3 -d  $ALSACVS co -P alsa-kernel
cvs -z3 -d  $ALSACVS co -P alsa-driver
cvs -z3 -d  $ALSACVS co -P alsa-firmware

You'll have three directories then.  Inside alsa-driver alsa-kernel
should be a symlink to "../alsa-kernel like: 

(alsa-driver)-$ pwd
/builds/alsa-cvs/alsa-driver
(alsa-driver)-$ ls -ld alsa-kernel
lrwxrwxr-x    1 fbar    fbar          14 Jan 31 17:08 alsa-kernel -> ../alsa-kernel

While in alsa-driver follow the instructions in INSTALL, but *don't*
run cvscompile, instead do it by hand: 

Compilation from CVS sources
============================

You need GNU packages autoconf and automake installed in your system
to compile CVS sources of alsa-driver package.

For compilation you can use these commands:

        make ALSAKERNELDIR=../alsa-kernel all-deps
                (if the alsa-kernel-dir is really there)
        aclocal
        autoconf
        ./configure
        make dep
        make

You need do it by hand, because you might want to tell the location of
your kernel-sources to configure with:   --with-kernel=dir

After that, you can install just the modules with "make
install-modules" as root. This will not overwrite your init.d scripts
with ALSA's versions, if you already have them, e.g. from your
distribution.

This worked for me here. You might want to try some alternatives as
described in the Wiki on alsa.opensrc.org as well, but I didn't have
success with anything else. 

ciao
