Totem (and GNOME in general) is moving in the direction of having less
settings. Totem 3.6.x doesn't even have the Audio output setting. It
simply uses the default gstreamer sink, which has to be changed through
the command line or with dconf-editor (I made a post about that on
ubuntuforums: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2102513 ). I'm
not sure how to make gstreamer downmix everything to mono (or if it's
even possible). Something like downmixing is probably best handled
through pulseaudio (see /etc/pulse/daemon.conf ).

Title:
Totem Video Player Missing Mono Audio Preference
Status in Totem Movie Player:
New
Status in “gstreamer0.10” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The Totem video player provides Audio output options, but is missing
the "Mono" option. See:
Totem > Edit > Preferences > Audio > Audio output type
My Dell Studio 17 is suffering from another bug where I'm unable to hear
audio out of its left-internal-speaker:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1075405
I have an AVI file that only has audio for the left channel, so I'm
unable to hear this video in Totem.
However, using VLC, I can simply click on the video while it is
playing, and then make both speakers play the left channel.
If Totem would provide a "Mono" option in its Audio Preferences menu,
I'd probably be able to hear the file in Totem is well.
I realize that this is a special case, but there are probably other
reasons why someone would prefer mono over stereo.
