GNOME Gingerblue 2.0.1 is available and builds/runs on GNOME 41 systems such as Fedora Core 35.
It supports immediate, live audio recording in compressed Xiph.org Ogg Vorbis encoded audio files stored in the private $HOME/Music/ directory from the microphone/input line on a computer or remote audio cards through USB connection through PipeWire (www.pipewire.org) with GStreamer (gstreamer.freedesktop.org) on Fedora Core 34 (getfedora.org) as well as XSPF 1.0 playlist stored in the private $HOME/Music/GNOME.xspf playlist of the previous, latest recording.
See the GNOME Gingerblue project (www.gingerblue.org) for screenshots, Fedora Core 35 x86_64 RPM package and GNU autoconf installation package (https://download.gnome.org/sources/gingerblue/2.0/gingerblue-2.0.1.tar.xz) for GNOME 41 systems and https://gitlab.gnome.org/ole/gingerblue.git for the GPLv3 source code in my GNOME Git repository.

Notice the immediate, live recording file. The default immediate, live recording file name falls back to the result of g_strconcat(g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC), "/", gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(musician_entry)), "_-_", gtk_entry_get_text(GTK_ENTRY(song_entry)), "_[",g_date_time_format_iso8601 (datestamp),"]",".ogg", NULL) in gingerblue/src/gingerblue-main.c
Click on “Cancel” once in GNOME Gingerblue to stop immediate recording and click on “Cancel” once again to exit the application (or Ctrl-c in the terminal).
The following Multiple-Location Audio Recording XML file [.gingerblue] is created in G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC (usually $HOME/Music/ on American English systems):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<gingerblue version='2.0.1'>
<musician>Wilber</musician>
<song>Gingerblue Track 0001</song>
<instrument>Piano</instrument>
<line>Mic</line>
<label>GNOME Music</label>
<station>streaming.gnome.org</station>

You’ll find the recorded Ogg Vorbis audio files along with the Multiple-Location Audio Recording XML files in g_get_user_special_dir(G_USER_DIRECTORY_MUSIC) (usually $HOME/Music/) on GNOME 41 systems configured in the American English language and can launch the latest recording by opening $HOME/Music/GNOME.xspf:
