VLC 2.0.4 - Please add option to keep playing in MONO mode

[Hard Of Hearing]

I am using VLC 2.0.4 for the - essential to me - option of MONO playback.

From the menu : Audio -> Audio device -> choice between mono and stereo.

If I'm listening to a CD and select mono, as soon as the next track starts, it reverts back to stereo.

Can a patch be made so that the users choice of output is kept between tracks?

Audio -> Stereo mode -> Mono

Your reply is exactly correct except for one problem, as the OP states - it is not maintained from one song to the next. And in Preferences in the DirectX section is the option to set Mono, then click Save, restart VLC, and guess what? It's in STEREO. And we're back at square one. Please fix this bug.
