It flows left and right, I suppose...

Here we seem to have different advices.  It seems that sometimes, laptops have
one input hole for both mic and line in.  Some of them, as reported by other
posters, can even switch from one to another function.  Someone else suggested
a way to check *if* mic entry is stereo or mono.  Someone, like you, states
that mic input is certainly mono, but someone else, also around Google, seems
to state the contrary, i.e. it can be mono or stereo depending on the PC.  This
is important to me also because I reversed into digital form some old vynils,
and did so using the mic input of my netbook, that doesn't have a line in.  So
I'd need to know if those *.wav files so produced are stereo or not, and, in
case they aren't, repeat the operation on another machine or adding an external
sound card to the netbook.

Also here, someone states that there exist stereo and mono microphones...

Yes, this is clear.

The splitter works regularly when used in listening mode...
