As Jeff mentioned in the follow-up to bug 62855, a significant number of
"AC'97" users are affected. Considering that there is zero possibility
of backward breakage by applying this fix for stereo audio capture and
that Ubuntu will soon have an audio-centric sister project, IMO it seems
sensible to include this fix in dapper-updates.

Thanks,
