alsa-driver tree contains some wrapper and extra things to build the
ALSA driver modules on 2.2/2.4 kernels. also, as mentioned above,
some experimental driver codes are in it, too. anyway, for 2.5/2.6,
you can build the ALSA drivers without alsa-driver tree (excpet for
snddevices script or init script if you need them).

for 2.5/2.6, yes, if you want.

no. it looks broken and should be fixed or removed.
i've never used it.

yes. (you can run make as normal user, though.)

alsa-tools and alsa-oss should be ok, too (if you have installed
necessary GUI toolkits for alsa-tools).
the trees which are not released as 0.9.x tarballs are all obsolete.

yep, as long as you run 2.5/2.6 kernels only.
