There is no such file in a normal Archlinux installation because
this is a *source* file, part of the ALSA drivers.

You can 

* Get the ALSA sources and patch, compile and install them.

See <https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_Build_System>
on how to do this cleanly (without bypassing package management).
I wouldn't recommend this unless you are a familiar with creating
packages from source.

Or

* Make sure the issue is reported to the ALSA developers, and
  wait for the next release which Archlinux will adopt quite
  fast.
