So would it be correct to assume that if I take a mono recording from a
stereo CD (two tracks of essentially identical data), encoding it as a
two-channel Vorbis file would give me an only slightly larger file than
if I first used a wave editor to throw away one of the two channels and
then encoded it as a single-channel Vorbis file? (with all other encoder
settings the same, of course)
