Yep, but that doesn't mean there are lots of mono->stereo connections 
all over the place. It rather means there are a few mixer channels 
panned dead center.

(Yes, mono channels, like on a "real" studio mixer. Stereo tracks come 
in as pairs of mono channels. When it comes to studio use, stereo 
mixer strips are pretty much just a way to cut cost in low end 
mixers. Two mono strips offer more control.)
