The only thing is: IIRC, all non-media (sound effects from scripts or collisions/etc and voice, but not parcel media or MOAP) sound sources in SL are played back as mono. You get 3D/stereo sounds because those mono sounds are played in a virtual 3D space, with each sound "located" at the object that is playing it.
This is a really cool idea, but it doesn't go well into games or SL I'm afraid - solely due to the fact that sounds are doing much more advanced tricks in such environments that result in stereo being lost and then remade. Thanks for the idea, I may use it in future projects of my own!
