To be honest I didn't think it was correct either, but the current solution does not work correctly either so I figured I'd give it a shot.
I have default overridden to pass through dmix/dsnoop, wine cannot access my card directly through plug:hw the majority of the time. Using the PlaybackDevice config option is a good enough hack for me for now
There should - at minimum - be a comment here. I "fixed" this to use default months ago, it was fixed back to plughw:0,0 and now you submitted a patch to fix it back to default again! This thing just ping-pongs back and forth like there's no tomorrow :)

Setting the device to default sort of worked back when the wine ALSA driver only supported a single device no matter how many devices there actually were. Now that the wine ALSA driver supports more than a single device, the proper way to deal with this is to do what windows does. That is make all the sound device available in the sound control panel and have the user decide which one to make the default or use the first one in the list if the user doesn't specify one. This would require that wine have a multimedia control panel (which could be run from winecfg) or use a native one and that winmm and dsound use the registry entries set by the control panel.
dsound currently has a hack to select which device is to be used as the default but the proper windows registry entries should be used so the wave device also works the same way.
The problem with ALSA is that it doesn't provide a consistent device enumeration facility. ALSA is moving that way but backward compatibility will always be a problem even when ALSA comes up with a usable and stable solution.
