This is a known issue, no down-mix is done when transcoding AC3, we just
keep "side channels". This  has to be fixed... but is qui  hard to do, I
think...

Well, this hasn't been implemented since  the main purpose of VLC is not
to convert movies to files (although this is possible) Other program can
do  that better  as we  do.  The prurpose  of transcoding  is mainly  to
convert a  stream to  a lower  bitrate, so  that it  can be  streamed on
(roughly) all kind of network.
