   OMG someone help me out.

 First I read the lame(1) manual carefully, and decide it cannot help.
 I tried to install several sound editor, glame tried to pull down the
 gtk1 library and depended packages, so stopped it. audacity takes too
 long time to compile (still doing now). I tried sweep, and it hung my
 machine; it seems trying to load the whole wave file into memory. I
 find xwava compiles correctly, runs okay, but it can do downmix only
 when the file fits memory. I also tried several other ports I don't
 remember now. Now I worked the whole afternoon without any progress.
 
 I think there must be some handy tools can do this. On audio port
 directory I tried
 make search key=mono
 make search key=downmix
 Both returned nothing.
 
 So what do you suggest me to use?

ports/audio/sox should be able to do what you want.
