Since you did not specify your kernel version, it is hard to respond.
However, assuming you are using V3.8.13, do the following:

Make sure the compiled BB-BONE-AUDI-02-00A0.dtbo file is installed under the
/firmware folder

If you want to enable the Audio DT permanently, add it to your uEnv.txt
file.
