Yes, I'm sure that the channel does not transmit in dual-audio. Here in
Sweden that technique is never used. I have also tried to capture to a file
and play it back on my mac using vlc and the sound is marked as stereo. If I
choose to playback only left or right channel it sound exactly the same,
there is no difference between the audio tracks.

Are you sure the source isn't using dual-audio?  (I.e. two-channel 
audio, but one language on the left channel and one on the right 
channel)  If so, MPlayer sees that the recording includes dual-audio and 
plays back only one channel.  (Note that you can have it play that 
channel to both left/right speakers to "simulate" stereo sound, but 
since the source itself is not broadcasting stereo, you can not get real 
stereo ouput.)
