Thanks for the tip! It turns out the white plug is for the earphones, and the red one for the microphone. And yes, they were too cheap to use two styles of plugs.
Actually, it's so that they can use multi-purpose sockets. I can't remember quite what they call it, but if you have a 5-speaker or 7-speaker sound card, you plug your extra speakers into the mic socket and so on.
