Comment 8 for bug 1610508

Yes, I think the following code would work for any audio file.

One could set the mime-type more correctly, but I think "audio" is enough.
$ xdg-mime query filetype audio2.ogg

static void saveToXBel(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer data) {
  g_print ("Saving to xbel.\n");

  // Make URI (file:///....) of a filename
  // Some audio file with complete path ! NOTICE !
  const gchar *file = "/home/moma/RR/audio2.ogg";

  GError *error = NULL;
  gchar *uri = g_filename_to_uri(file, NULL, &error);

  if (error) {
    g_print("Cannot make file uri of %s.\n", file);
    g_error_free(error);
    return;
  }

  GtkRecentManager *manager = gtk_recent_manager_get_default();
  GtkRecentData *recent_data = g_slice_new0 (GtkRecentData);

  // $ xdg-mime query filetype audio1.mp3
  // Set correct mime type
  recent_data->mime_type = "audio";

  recent_data->app_name = "Audio recorder";
  recent_data->is_private = FALSE;
  recent_data->app_exec = "xdg-open %u";
  gboolean ret = gtk_recent_manager_add_full (manager, uri, recent_data);

  if (!ret) {
    g_print("Error, cannot add to recent files. %s\n", uri);
  }

  g_slice_free(GtkRecentData, recent_data);
  g_free(uri);

}
