Telinga makes a splitter cable to do just what you want. I have one in
stock. It is a "Y" cable that has two mono female mini-jack plugs and feeds=

them to a single male stereo mini-jack output. This way you can feed two
different mono mics to each channel on a stereo recording. Write to me if
you need one.
