Would I want Driver or Kernel? Both alsa-driver and alsa-kernel are repos for ALSA drivers, so you need both. The latter contains the source codes to be merged to linux kernel tree while the former contains the stuff for building the modules. It's not always necessary to use HG version of alsa-lib, utils and others. But, at least, it's safe and recommended to use the latest version of alsa-lib and utils together with alsa-driver.
