Can you help me write a C++ program that reads blocks of audio data from the microphone using the ALSA driver?

In this generated code the usage of the
snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near
is incorrect as the function has the following declarationint snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near(snd_pcm_t*, snd_pcm_hw_params_t*, unsigned int*, int*)
ChatGPT fixed this when I asked it to add error checking https://gist.github.com/davesnowdon/34c2d661240e781a4c2c3a6f0ae982e7
