Sorry, I should not have used the word "file", always "stream": we are
always talking of the output of a single decoder.

It is a 2-channels stream that contains two (probably related) mono
recordings, one on each channel.

Yes, just that.

It is not absurd to abuse a stereo encoder to encode that, because the
channel coupling will work for the music and effects if not for the speech.
But it can not be called stereo.
