Microphone access in GNOME

Hi everyone!

Another newcomer here with big plans inside GNOME. I’m planning a messaging application with the capability of handling voice calls.
My question is: does GNOME provide a way for accessing the microphone or shall I go to another component of linux (that I probably haven’t heard about yet) that implements this feature?

I’m not an expert in that area, but I can give a few suggestions.

Vocalis is a sound recorder, so it’s possible to see how it’s implemented.

Otherwise, for everything related to multimedia, there is GStreamer.

I think you need to use Pipewire.

here is dino, which supports voice calls in gtk4: it uses gstreamer
