If the recording is mono there would *be* two channels. What you have is a
stereo recording, with the same data on both channels (more or less).
While a computer can play something other than standard 44100 sample/sec
16 bit stereo, players maynot be able to do so.

You can do a mix for wav or mp3, but paranoia duplicates what's on the CD,
regardless of the desirability of doing that.
