I think FLAC isn't the only decoder that is unable to output stereo, if
necessary. Besides, IMO it is a good idea to have some sort of fallback
solution in place.

Given the coefficients you pass to the pan filter, that's expected. :)
They sum up to 2.5 for each channel, ideally they should sum up to 1.
However I am not sure how volume will suffer if they're scaled down to
achieve that.
