There isn't a way to do this by using only OpenAL.  A buffer with 
multiple channels will not be spatialized by OpenAL, and there isn't any 
way to split or combine the channels inside OpenAL itself.  Your best 
bet is to use a sound editing tool to convert the sound from stereo to 
mono, and then load that into OpenAL to do your spatialization.

If you really do need the stereo sound to be spatialized (this doesn't 
really make sense, except in a few special cases), you can use the sound 
editing tool to save out each channel of the stereo sound separately, 
and then create two sources (one for left, one for right), and position 
them appropriately.
