Apparently, the controls are swapped, so ALSA developers have to look
into this.

However, if the card can't record stereo from microphone by design,
it probably doesn't matter that much.

Does this card (Revo 5.1) support stereo microphone ? What does user
manual say about it ?

Assuming you do not mute anything - can you really hear that the sound
is stereo from the microphone ?

The microphone probably has two "heads", so tapping on one of them
should produce loud sound in that channel and silent one in the other
channel - is this the case ?

I mean, if the card is designed to provide power to electret microphone
through the 3--terminal 3.5mm jack, it can't support stereo.
