copying the mono stream to both channels is not going to happen. primarily because mono is really stereo in azalia. mono is emulated, and we need mono emulation for most voip applications. it would be a lot of work and is very likely to cause problems, and I really don't see the benefit. I think, if this were a real issue, there'd be a way to do this in the hardware. some widgets alow l-r swap, but there is no "emulate stereo from mono" functionality. -- jake...@sdf.lonestar.org SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org
