yeah, that's already done:

[glandix at smeg ~]$ rpm -q alsa-lib
alsa-lib-1.0.13-32.fc5.at.x86_64

[glandix at smeg ~]$ rpm -q alsa-lib-devel
alsa-lib-devel-1.0.13-32.fc5.at.x86_64


i am able to capture in stereo if i use:

v4lctl setattr "audio mode" stereo


the problem is, whenever the channel is changed, it's reset back to the 
default of mono
