First off, don't use frameno.  It's been depreciated for a very long
time.  It's the cause of a lot of frustration for a lot of people.

Also, I simply can't reproduce your problem.  Using that exact
command-line gives me an AVI file with mono audio (using 1.0pre7).

Perhaps you problem is directly related to using frameno.

The "amode" option does not exist.  The only place I saw it in the man
page was in the TV capture section.  It is certainly not a lavcopt.
Stick to "-channels 1".
