Oops, yes, it's indeed intended to be tags/sound-3.6.
So please pull from:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound.git tags/sound-3.6


FWIW, it was an output from git-pull-request, which fell back to the
equivalent branch.  Usually I check it manually but I forgot it at
this time just before going to a meeting.

This was with git 1.7.11.5.  I'll check whether this still happens
with 1.7.12.
