There's not an easy way to make your audio out mono on Linux. In 2021. Jeebuz.

How so? In alsa just configure your sink as mono. In JACK downmix to mono (or discard one channel) then plug output to both L and R sinks.

I guess what you describe as "such simple thing as output mono" has multiple solutions once you think about it, so no-one is forcing one
