Have you seen the snd_strerror() function?
For any errors you may want to choose to take specific action, these are
sometimes documented eg. snd_pcm_writei() has an explanation of the
expected errors returned. The ones you will commonly see are summarised
here ("Error codes"):

I agree this could be a litle more thoroughly spec'd at a function level,
which would also keep from implementing lots of unnecessary error paths.
But hopefully this information is enough to move you forwards.
