Describe the bug

While I installed spotify-player without any problems by using the default commands:

sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libssl-dev libasound2-dev libdbus-1-dev
cargo install spotify_player --locked

I cannot play any songs although I'm able to see my device in the list and select it.

I guess the problem is related to the following errors I see everytime I start the spotify-player:

ALSA lib confmisc.c:855:(parse_card) cannot find card '0'
ALSA lib conf.c:5178:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_card_inum returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:422:(snd_func_concat) error evaluating strings
ALSA lib conf.c:5178:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_concat returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib confmisc.c:1334:(snd_func_refer) error evaluating name
ALSA lib conf.c:5178:(_snd_config_evaluate) function snd_func_refer returned error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib conf.c:5701:(snd_config_expand) Evaluate error: No such file or directory
ALSA lib pcm.c:2664:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default

At the moment, the spotify-player is running flawlessly simply relying on the original client running in Windows, acting as merely controller.

To Reproduce

I'm reproducing the bug simply by starting spotify-player on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS in my WSL2 instance.

Expected behaviour

I would like be able to listen the audio without any problems.
