    Anyone doing anything interesting with using the N900 as an audio
recording device or doing things to improve audio quality when doing video
recordings?

    Currently, I'm using Recorder for audio and Qik for streaming video.
However, I'm just using the internal microphone.

    I know that Steve Garfield came up with a hack for the N900 which allows
the use of a powered external microphone

    I'm wondering that works for the N900 or if there is a better way with
the N900.  I'm also curious about ways to use non powered microphones, XLR
connections etc.


    Thoughts or comments are appreciated.

  According to

e_Interface_Specification_v1_0_en.pdf you can use yellow plug for audio
input. For XLR connections you have to use adapters, try to google for
phmxmh, but that may not work for all microphones. Or you will need a
converter from balanced to unbalanced, but it can be bulky and may need an
external power.
