[Vorbis] Vorbis encoding at half speed

[xiphmont at xiph.org]

Echoing Hiroka, who is likely on the right track.

Simply telling the encoder 'one channel' and then passing stereo data
will not convert the stereo data to mono.  The encoder encodes
whatever it is given...

It's all working well except for one user occasionally has a 1 hour file appear as 2 hours and it plays at half speed.  It is being converted from stereo to mono before feeding the encoder with a channels=1 configuration.
