I don't think that's possible right now.  I think that's a feature to be
added in the future.

I have not tried this, but it seems you can hook up your two mono signals
to a AudioChannelMerger.  Perhaps something like

merger = context.createChannelMerger();
mono1.connect(merger,0,0);
mono2.connect(merger,0,1);

The output of the merger will be a stereo signal that your javascript node
can access and process.

Does that work?  I haven't tried any of this out, so I don't know if it
works or not.
