Copy the ucm and ucm2 trees to the alsa-lib configuration directory (usually located in /usr/share/alsa) including symlinks. The files in the package root directory (README.md, LICENSE and VERSION) files are extra (only informational).
Example:
tar xzjf alsa-ucm-conf-1.2.6.2.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/alsa --strip-components=1 "*/ucm" "*/ucm2"
The UCM configurations are automatically validated using the UCM validator available at https://github.com/alsa-project/alsa-tests/tree/master/python/ucm-validator .
If you create a pull request for new hardware, please, add also the alsa-info.sh output to emulate this hardware in the UCM validator.
