This should have changed with recent xine-lib (I'm using CVS, which
advertises itself as 1.1.2), in which Reinhard Nissl, the vdr-xine
plugin developer got quite some useful patches merged upstream. You
might want to try the audio post-processing plugin "upmix_mono". It
should be configurable on which from channel to be upmixed (duplicated)
as two identical Left/Right channels.
He developed this for VDR as there are lots of DVB broadcasts which
either use different languages on the same track as left/right channels,
or just broadcast plain mono (which can't be sent directly to SPDIF, as
most external amps only understand stereo PCM, DD or dts).
I haven't tested the plugin directly myself, as the vdr-plugin hooks
into this automatically, but I've seen in the xine-ui menu that the
"upmix_mono" plugin has an integer parameter ranging from "-1 to 5",
which may actually designate the possible channels from a 5.1 setup,
plus some automatism, maybe. So just try it out.
