This is Snowboy blocker.

Snowboy need alsa to run.
When I change my snap to run as daemon alse stop working and I get the error

  ALSA lib control.c:1373:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:0
  ALSA lib control.c:1373:(snd_ctl_open_noupdate) Invalid CTL hw:1
  No protocol specified
  xcb_connection_has_error() returned true
  ALSA lib pcm.c:2495:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM sysdefault
  No protocol specified
  xcb_connection_has_error() returned true
  ALSA lib pcm.c:2495:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM sysdefault
  Fail to open PortAudio stream, error message is Device unavailable.

So we need new way to run Snowboy that will work with root permissions, as alsa/ pulseaudio cannot run as root in ubuntu.

We will take example and actually use the code from mycroft-precise
https://github.com/MycroftAI/mycroft-precise

As the alsa is working inside their snap and it is commercial use permitted, open source, Accurate, and easy to create our own wake word which will be "Jinni" or "Hey Jinni".
