One work around spoken of is to use the alsa or dummy backends in ardour
(windows->Audio MIDI setup: Audio system drop down).
Neither of these were installed on my Fedora Jam 34 upgraded from 33.
the command:
"dnf install ardour6-backend-dummy"
installs the dummy backend, but it still didn't show up (maybe a
developer setting in ardour is required?)
"dnf install ardour6-backend-alsa" installed the alsa backend and this
then did provide alsa in the Ardour Audio System drop down.
I tested it and I can now export audio files just fine. Only problem is
that it takes over my audio system and I had to quite Ardour to get
sound output back (maybe there's another way to do this).
