No, I wouldn't do that. It isn't all that broken it would seem (assuming 
  it will work for me after applying the patch you posted that should 
make it work with older alsa-lib; haven't checked yet).

Generally I'd say totally unacceptable but this might in fact be a 
special case due to it being generic PC hardware and expected to be 
present therefore -- it might actually make some sense to reserve a
#define SND_INDEX_PCSP MAXINT or some such so that this thing gets a 
stable index (and make sure people know to select it through its name 
like in "default:pcsp" and the like). I'd ask Takashi for comment on that...
