I bought an adapter at the local electronics store ( "Saturn" in Germany). It fits pretty well into the FR socket. But I only have sound on one side of the headset, even if the pluf is fully connected. I'm not sure if this is a plug-related problem or a misconfiguration of the moko-audio-subsystem. Does anybody know more about this? If I'm not able to fix this via software configuration, I plan to connect the 2 stereo channels by soldering to at least have a mono signal on both earplugs.
