(or one could use pacmd to load the module). Then I uses gnome-control-center 3 sound panel and in input tab select "FMAudio SMA Source <name of input stereo>" Same could be achieved via pavucontrol. That s it. I hope it could be improved. Ie for example the choice does not remains through sessions. That is the most annoying issue at this stage. Any requests (and clues as to how to implement them) welcomed ! PS: any tweak to make the small array of microphones work somewhat applied by hand should be reverted . The most common fix used was to "mute" one of the channel of the stereo input. This is not critical though.
