The game currently provides no option to render to stereo only. This means that systems which support 5.1 channels, for example, will render to those channels even if only headphones are connected.

It shouldn't be too difficult to force rendering of audio in stereo. The potential drawbacks include that rear and center channels in that case may not receive any output.

The audio engine is in need of upgrades of course and the inclusion of options to pan across the available channels could eventually be provided with other audio related improvements.
