I would go down the path of apt-get linux-source and start with the 
ubuntu patched kernel.

On the other hand the alsa patches are probably against the stock 
kernel.  You'll know right away if the patch fails, though, so it's 
probably safe to try the ubuntu kernel first.

The alsa docs on the website have a patching HOWTO i believe.
