[opus] Stereo channel separation

[Jean-Marc Valin]

The bleed-over is actually possible with CELT because at low bitrates,
the encoder will deliberately reduce the stereo image to reduce the
coding noise. For 48 kHz/20 ms, the image reduction occurs below about
40 kbps. Any bitrate above that shouldn't have any leakage.
