 Is there a way to play these through both left  right equally?

If I had such a file, I'd investigate mpg123's options.

$ mpg123 --longhelp
...
 -0 --left --single0   play only left channel
 -1 --right --single1  play only right channel
 -m --mono --mix   mix stereo to mono
--stereo   duplicate mono channel
...

Not sure how these interact exactly, but I'd start there.

 xmms is what I usually use.

Again, under...

  Options
  - Preferences
 - Audio I/O Plugins
- MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player
   - Configure
  - Decoder

... there's a Mono button that I'd try.
