Yes, as it should. Let's see what happens.

1. Chain '0' is created - channel count still unknown.
2. You set the default audio format to 16,1,44100.
3. Mp3-file is opened and it's treated as a 16,1,44100
   (mono) file. Btw; if you could hear it, you'd get
   a half-speed version of the mp3-file. After creation,
   input is connected to the active chain '0'.
   Chain channel count is now adjusted to the
   attached input (==> 1 channel).
4. A amplify effect is added. This doesn't change channel
   setup.
5. You add the pan-effect. -epp is a stereo-effect, so
   chain's channel-count is increased to 2 (stereo).
6. /dev/dsp1 is opened as a mono device and attached
   to chain '0'

Now when you start processing...:

channel input-mp3 -> chain-0 -> output-dsp1

0-left read process write
1-right - process -

So when you pan your signal fully right, you won't hear anything on the left channel (which happens to be the only one written to /dev/dsp1).

No, no, these routing-related issues are still not that well documented. This is a good opportunity for me to explain my ideas.
