Comment(by coling):

 Lennart, do you think this is something that Skype should not assume?
 Personally, I think this is one of the beauties of PA, the ability to say,
 "I want to record Mono" adn then let the server work it out?


 Sam, if you want a solution that works, I'd try something like:
 {{{
 load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=stereo
 sink_properties="device.description='Stereo'"
 master=INSERT_51_SINK_NAME_HERE channels=2 master_channel_map=front-left
 ,front-right channel_map=front-left,front-right remix=no
 }}}

 This should create a virtual device for you that will only use the front
 speakers and you can move your pure stereo streams to this virtual device
 to ensure it wont upmix on an app-by-app basis.
