OSError: [Errno -9996] Invalid input device

After PyTorch server started, "speech_demo.py" gives following error:

Any idea why this error... ?

I'm using Docker on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

[daemon]

It looks like Docker has something to do with it, e.g., cypress-io/cypress-docker-images#52.

Thanks! @daemon for the reference...but unfortunately I couldn't get any help from that one.

I was able to get rid of the above errors by referencing https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28985714/run-apps-using-audio-in-a-docker-container#28985715

Starting the docker using -v /dev/snd:/dev/snd --privileged

But now I'm getting these errors.

Currently, trying to install ALSA but facing issues like

fatal error: linux/version.h: No such file or directory
fatal error: linux/config.h: No such file or directory

Will keep updating in case of any luck.
Please post for any suggestions regarding this.
Thank you!
