I almost forgot - that's disregarding the simple fact that even if
the driver made no mistake with this, this 2ch vs 4ch issue is not documented
anywhere, neither in kernel (linux-2.6/Documentation/sound/alsa/?) nor in
userland (alsamixer(1), arecord(1), ...?), so if anyone else sees this
behaviour, whether due to one's own change or a possible bad default,
there is no recourse.

Closing bugs just like that may well be acceptable elsewhere, but I thought
we had a bit higher standards in Debian. :|
