Sharing an observation.....

>From experimentation it appears that the "left" mic channel has side
information and the "right" has mono (middle). Something like Chan1=L-R
Chan2=L+R.

If this were reversed at least most applications would get the sum of
the two microphones (i.e. mono). As things stand, when apps use the
first mic channel they just get the difference (side) which is usually
of no use.

To confirm this I moved around making noise, then using audacity I split
the stereo sample into two mono samples, I'll call them 1 and 2...
inverted 1 to make !1, then with a bit of fiddling made a pair of
samples (1+2) and (!1+2), joined them as stereo left and right and got
what I'd have had if the mics had been straight stereo.

If anyone here has audacity on their 901 can they confirm that the right
channel appears to be the sum of the mics, and the left is the
difference?
