Samples do not build

[chrbsg]

• README.md does not state how to build the samples in the samples directory
• cd samples && go build results in errors:

This is Ubuntu LTS (20.04.4) with go-1.17.4

@chrbsg Thanks for using the Speech SDK and writing this issue up. I checked in some fixes for this with this commit

Could you pull latest and give this another try?

[chrbsg]

@glharper it fails as-is due to samples/go.mod pulling in the older version (v1.20.0) of the SDK, but if I add replace github.com/Microsoft/cognitive-services-speech-sdk-go => ../ to samples/go.mod then it builds ok. It might make sense to build the samples against the current git checkout, rather than some tag, but you could tag it and update the go.mod too.

[glharper]

@chrbsg Our upcoming release next month will fix this issue, since the speaker package will be in v1.21. We tend to encourage samples to run against official releases, so until the release the "replace" addition to samples/go.mod will be necessary for running against the latest commit.
