I don't mind having one person on the left channel and the other on the
right... (In fact, that's a pretty good idea!)  I'd just rather not have
to mix the two files afterwords.  (And yes, I've actually thought about
what I just said... it would mean creating the file in a different
format that supports stereo channels.)

This is certainly the "right thing to do", whether or not we combine the
two channels inside of res_monitor.  

Maybe we should make it a configuration option?  Or maybe I should just
shut my trap and go back to manually mixing the files?!?
