The two cheaper sound dongles from "vendor B" finally arrived today. They had been sent from an address in Berlin although there was a link to "softsilkroad.com" stamped on the parcel. 
 
As predicted by Alan, these soundcards look similar to the Syba devices, but only support mono input with 48 kHz samplerate. The bottom of the product card correctly suggest an "Optional mono microphone".
 
All the best,
Markus (DF6NM)

Two of those http://www.ebay.de/itm/121666143901 (seller audvidcom2, 13.90 € per piece + 1.70 postage, originally Paul-Henrik's link) arrived today  Plugged them in and found that they are good: 96 kHz stereo input, chipset VIA VT1630A according to booklet.
 
Still waiting for two of the cheaper ones from http://www.ebay.de/itm/311030647266 (seller easybuyb2c, 3.28 p.p. + 0.0). Though the ad states that the articles are located in Berlin, the confirmation email from the seller reveals that he actually resides in Beijing. We'll see what we get...
 
73, Markus

Thanks Paul-Henrik and Alan, just ordered a couple of those.
 
There seems to be a similar looking device for only 3.28 Euro on
which may or may not be the suspected Chinese mono version - we'll find out when this one arrives in a week or so.
 
BTW I have a couple of the "3D-Sound" devices here and they are definitely mono only. But nevertheless very useful - one is occasionally running as a narrowband VLF receiver (synced by GPS 1pps injected to the antenna path), another one feeds the Loran-C grabber.
 
Best 73,
Markus (DF6NM)

Replying to myself...
I tried using "line-in" as a search parameter, since line-in should be stereo by default. This product promises "mic/stereo line-in" in the specifications, and is small+ reasonably cheap:

I have no personal experience with the product.
