Honestly if you're starting out here it's probably easier to backport
current ASoC into 2.6.36 (it has relatively few external dependencies
and should drop in fairly neatly, I can help with that if need be) and
get the benefits of the newer APIs.  This...

...means you get to skip the pain of having to update to newer APIs
immediately you get a new kernel version, and getting the work into
mainline means that for future API updates a lot of the work will get
done for you as mainline is updated.
