Title:
  gnome-sound-recorder voice encoder should be mono

Status in GNOME media utilities:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-media package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-media

  Hello,

  I now used gnome-sound-recorder to record a lesson, using the "Voice,
  Lossy (Speex audio)" encoding. The resulting file size for about 1
  hour is about 20MB. It turns out that the file is encoded in stereo. I
  think that 99.9% of people recording speech are not interested in
  stereo, and most chances are that they use a mono microphone. I think
  that 10MB/hour would be much nicer than 20MB/hour.

  By the way, I think that 5MB/hour would be even nicer, if it sounds
  Ok. If it is understandable but sounds significantly worse, I would
  add another option - Why not have "voice, lossy, high quality" and
  "voice, lossy, low quality"?

  Thanks,
  Noam
