Stereo stereo? It's "stereo" in stereo! :-)
Yeah, quad channels. Fixed now.

Ok, I get it now.
There is a slight drawback with this (IMO a bit hacky) patch, and that is that you can get a short signal spike on the right channel when you turn "Capture Switch" on while "Inverted Capture" is off. Hopefully it is not a practical problem.
Right, I fully admit it's hacky :)
A good thing by this is, however, that it doesn't touch other parts too intrusively but just wraps over it.
Thanks for looking at this long-standing problem :-)
I'm going to commit it once after hearing the test with a real machine from Eliot.
Hi,
I'm adding the machines I know of in the patch attached (please commit together with your patch).
For users running Ubuntu 12.04 (I think Eliot does), I have also made a dkms package for easy testing of these two patches, and I also asked existing bug reporters to test it.

These machines have inverted phase on right channel for their internal mics.
These are all ALC269, and we have already a workaround using the hardware COEF verb. Could you check whether it works or not? There are variants for alc269, alc269vb and alc271. One of them might match.
The patch below adds model strings for these fixups for convenience.
