[Python] Speech recognition on docker image

I am able to build an image from the file. However, when I try to use the speech recognition I receive an error.
This is my dockerfile

FROM python:3.9
## user creation and application dir
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install apt-utils
RUN apt-get install -y libasound-dev libportaudio2 libportaudiocpp0 portaudio19-dev libsndfile1

RUN useradd -m worker
RUN chown worker /app

speech.py script

import speech_recognition as sr
from flask import Flask, render_template, redirect, session

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = 'command'


@app.route('/spee')
def home():
return render_template('speech.html')


@app.route('/speech', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def speech():
try:
li = []
listen(li)
session['command'] = li[0]
ht = '''<!DOCTYPE html>

</head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
'''
ht+= f'<h1> did you mean: "{li[0]}"'
ht+='''
<form action="/search">
<button type="submit">Yes</button>
</form>
<form action="/">
<button type="submit">No</button>
</form>


</html>'''
return ht
except:
return 'speech not recognized'


@app.route('/search', methods=['POST'])
def search():
command = session['command']
url = f'https://www.google.com/search?q={command}'
return redirect(url)


def listen(li):
import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()
with sr.Microphone() as source:
audio = r.listen(source)
command = r.recognize_google(audio)
li.append(command)


if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', )


Here is the error, I tried installing alsa-utils. I tried to run the docker with privileged flag. And I tried removing the user and performing all the commands as root. None of those worked
