I have a mono mp3 that I am converting to ogg. If I choose mono in the dbPowerAmp dialog, I get an error. Here is the commandline:
C:\Documents and Settings\Josh>"C:\Program Files\Foobar2000\oggenc.exe" C:\~dmc
in.wav -o C:\~dmcout.ogg -q -1 --downmix --resample 44100
Opening with wav module: WAV file reader
Resampling input from 16000 Hz to 44100 Hz
ERROR: Can't downmix except from stereo to mono

Looks like you may need to add a check to see if the source file is stereo before trying downmix in ogg.

IF the source file is mono then a mono wave file will be created (you can check the ~dmcin.wav file, the ogg command line encoder should know to skip the downmix...

I'm using this version of ogg vorbis http://www.rarewares.org/files/ogg/oggenc2.3aoTuVb2P4.zip gotten from this page
http://www.rarewares.org/ogg.html

I got the error using the ogg codec pack from your site, so I tried the one from rarewares and the same thing happened. I set it to encode stereo and it worked fine. The resulting file was mono, but that's what I wanted anyways.
