Summary:

ffmpeg -i mono.wav -acodec alac alac_mono.m4a   # output is alac_mono.m4a 
totem alac_mono.m4a  # plays double speed

alac-decoder -f decoded.wav  alac_mono.m4a   # output is  decoded.wav, which is 
STEREO (a bug)
totem decoded.wav  # plays normally (in stereo).

(The attachment to comment#2 contains sample files and a demo script
with these commands.)

Note: "mono.wav" is a 1-track (monophonic) WAV file, e.g., from a field
recording.   Another way to create a mono .wav file is to rip a
commercial CD, and convert one of the tracks to mono using Audacity's
"Tracks->Stereo Track to Mono" feature.
