Description
Adding a "Record Audio" to the audio block would make it a lot easier to take and upload audionotes.
I have opened a matching issue in Gutenberg core at https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/38632 but I think the mobile app is in a unique position to implement this ahead of core.
The mobile app would be superior to core because it would be able to store these audio posts as drafts locally if the app is offline, and published them again once they go online again.

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by locating the Android audio block implementation and reviewing the linked Gutenberg issue; define the recording, offline draft, and later publishing behavior before making changes. Done means audio can be recorded in the block, stored as an offline draft, and published when connectivity returns.
