Maybe our friends at pavilion will be interested in taking this on. I’d also love to see this plugin picked up again and given some improvement, and posted this over there last summer. Where has the time gone?!
My use case right now is to provide a simple way for my family to record themselves reading children’s books for my nephew who is quarantined in his apartment in Paris! 
For now we are recording using iphone and uploading the recordings which then become playable inline. It works fairly well but is an extra step and takes a bit of wizardry which some of my older relatives are struggling with.
