I was wondering if you had any examples in mind? I’m looking into gstreamer (which i haven’t used in many years) since jolla supplies : gstreamer1.0-libav … any tips would be appreciated or just tell me RTFM 
EDIT: ah, wthell, I just did the reading:
Ok, this is a primary monitor output recording using gstreamer. You need to install the tools:
zypper install gstreamer1.0-tools
gst-launch-1.0 pulsesrc ! audioconvert ! vorbisenc ! oggmux ! filesink location=blah.ogg
That works.
