Don't bother :) There is already a driver for this card (ALS4000, from 
the vendor/devids) in -CURRENT. I expect it will be MFC'd to 4.x during
the next round of driver updates. I wouldn't recommend switching to
-current to test the driver at this point in time...

Best place to start would probably be the developers' handbook, which is
linked somewhere from the website. It's primarily general information,
not specific to newpcm. For that, you must use the Source until somebody 
can be bothered to write proper documentation :)
