Interestingly enough, the compressor is defined to be 2-channel - so if you
have a mono input, IIUC it's always going to be promoted to a stereo signal
on output.  Of course, upmixing a mono signal to stereo is just going to
duplicate the signal, which should have no effect on it being stereo-linked
or not; but if you really want to have a mono output signal, you'll just
have to use a channel splitter to strip out the first channel again.
