Yep, -chcopy will overwrite the existing channel data, so you need to
know whether you have a mono or stereo file before deciding whether or
not to use it. I can't think of any way within ecasound to achieve this
automatically. But you could use sox or sndfile-info from the command
line to tell you how many channels your file has and construct a command
line accordingly. It's a bit of a pain, but should be possible.

Good luck!
