Not sure how to do this. Something like:
load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=mono
master=alsa_output.pci_8086_2445_sound_card_0 channels=1
master_channel_map=front-left,front-right

Fails. I'm trying to mono the sound and play it back through both
speakers.

Would this allow me to switch between mono and stereo though? It thought
the alsa sink could only bind to one device?

Thanks,
