Observed behaviour
Streams that are supposed to have stereo audio seem to play back in mono when you view them.
This happens both on the web app and on the desktop app, seemingly with streaming any application whatsoever.
Reproduction steps
- Have someone start a stream with stereo audio
- Start watching the stream
- Observe that the sound plays in mono
