Yes, very impressive. Thanks Emanoil.

One very important issue for people to use the microphone is the input 
gain setting, ie. Mic Boost. If not set, the microphone will "not work" 
under Linux. Anyone knows how to easily set it up?

  $ amixer | grep -A6 Boost
  Simple mixer control 'Front Mic Boost',0
    Capabilities: volume
    Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
    Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
    Limits: 0 - 3
    Front Left: 0 [0%]
    Front Right: 0 [0%]
