[geek] Mixing mplayer audio output to mono
I've had a lot of problems listening to stuff with apparently screwed up (horribly imbalanced) stereo lately. A useful solution I just found is the mplayer argument "-channels 1". It causes mplayer to ask the audio decoder to give it 1 audio channel. I still wish pulseaudio had a simple built in mix-to-mono function.
