it's simple when you have all that components

second solution but not perfect:
- use build in mic as left channel
- use headset mic as right channel
- mix both into audio file (maybe gsteamer can do that)

minijack in n900 has only one input, so only mono (can be multiplexed, but that need specific mics and specific app on n900, not worth of thinking)

I use nokia e52 for record stereo sound. It has build in two mics.
Or even better use Nokia n9. It.by default records nice videos with stereo sound. It also suppports stereo line-in(not sure about n900, its video cable is compatible, maybe stereo too). You can use similar gstreamer hacks, but there are already good apps for stereo/mono recording.eith input selection.
