Basically, yes, minus some bugs (overflowing the inbuffer...).
short inbuffer[BUFSIZE], leftBuf[BUFSIZE/2]; /* or whatever type
you have */
read (sd, inbuffer, BUFSIZE);
for (i=0; i<BUFSIZE/2; i++)
leftBuf[i] = inbuffer[2*i] * gain;
write (file_d, leftBuf, BUFSIZE/2);

I don't really see what you mean but sure, of course you could as well
in the above example change BUFSIZE to BUFSIZE*2 and BUFSIZE/2 to
BUFSIZE... Doesn't really matter. :)
