Well, for simple GUI operation, there's gnome-sound-recorder (if it
still exists for current releases of Fedora).  Though I use audacity if
I want to record anything.

You may need to play with the sound mixer, or multimedia preferences, to
set up the input that will be recorded.  Some sound recorders have their
own input selectors, others just record what an outside setting
dictates.
