Use Audacity, it should be in one of the Fedora repositories. 
Gnome-Sound-Recorder is crap.  It crashed on me constantly as well.  It
would record 0 byte wave files and then crash when trying to play them. 
I use Audacity to edit 500MB - 1GB wave files with no problems at all. 
It is a very good Audio editor.  You can also record audio with it and
export to wav, ogg or MP3.
