OK, Mark's tree doesn't contain.  But you can merge for-2.6.38 tree there.

The main sound git tree is found in
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound-2.6.git

In general yes because this is the tree to be merged to 2.6.38.

You can keep two branches.  One contains only your fixes, and another
is the merged branch from yours and from sound git tree.  Expose the
latter merged tree for linux-next.

There are many other ways to manage such things, but the above has
worked for me well, at least.
