title: Is stereo audio two times shorter than mono?
body: <p>I can't find answer, question as above.</p>
  
  <p>I have two files with sound data, with the same <strong>amount of bytes</strong>, the same <strong>sample size</strong> and the same <strong>sample rate</strong>. One is in <strong>mono</strong>, another is in <strong>stereo</strong>. Is stereo audio two times shorter than mono audio? Should I consider sample rate as sample per channel rate or literally sample rate (no distinction between channels)?</p>
  
  <p>I'm working on app which will split channels from multichannel audio. Should I reduce framerate of splitted tracks by half?</p>
