Simply sample the original files in mono. This will record the left chanel only and you will end up with a file that when played comes out center chanel because it is mono. The harder way of doing this is to merge the stereo into mono wiht sox: sox stereofile.wav -c1 monofile.wav the avg affect is assumed. A mono recording will play out _both_ speakers, but a stereo recording of a left-chanel only source will only come out left chanel. Sampling in mono halves the bandwidth required when encoding and a mono ogg stream at 44100 samples per second 16-bit with default quality settings avarages around 64kbps. the equivalent stereo stream averages 128kbits.
