The GoPro Hero2 is has a stereo mic port, you just need a non waterproof housing (or drill the waterproof housing if you don't need to take it scuba diving).

I have it and I'm still doing some work to get where I'm happy with the audio. Here's one of my early preliminary mic tests (the WOT pull starts at 00:38 for those impatient folks):

Some things to note: I was using a MONO mic which is why you only hear sound from one speaker. I didn't bother editing it because I'm still working on it. I've also improved audio quality and reduced wind/road noise since that test. Once I'm happy I'll post more videos.

Oh and no, I don't know how to embed videos either
