Yes.

The internal sound device actually supports mono.
I don't know why the mono->stereo expansion does not work. This should
be handled automatically by the plug plugin. It would be possible to
explicitly disable this when compiling alsa-lib, but Debian does not do
this.
Please try putting this into your ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.stereoonly {
type hw
card 0
channels 2
}
and then running "aplay -v -D plug:stereoonly /.../Front_Center.wav".
Does it work? Does it expand the file to two channels?
