Why mono instead of stereo when using aound
On the following page, mono mixes for audio elements are suggested as being preferable.

I'm rendering a music audio element - experimenting with both 192 and 128kbps mp3 files - but the mono mixes I'm doing are the same size.
Can anyone advise if there's a reason other than size that stereo mixes are not suggested as optimal?
I'd say that a lot of phones still have mono speakers. Even the iPhone 6 still has mono speakers I believe. So using mono audio makes sound effects/ a Lens available to a broader audience and more people can enjoy using the Lens. If you play stereo sound via mono speakers you would lose frequencies resulting in a poorer Lens experience
But that's just my guess..
