I was searching for an elegant way to split a stereo file into L and R mono files.
This forum googled up with an old thread
In the meantime the option "Convert to Mono" has been implemented, and it works ok.

As next I tried to split a Quad file, because I use this format a lot for my compositions.
(these 4 channel files are made according to the WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE protocol)

First I had to set up the proper playback conditions (using ASIO4ALL v2)
A bit confusing, because I had to assign output dev 3 to sample ch 2, and output dev 4 to sample ch 3.
But it works correctly.

Then I wanted to split this into 4 mono files with the "Convert to Mono" menu.
'Left only' and 'Right only' did ok with ch 1 and 2.
Getting ch 3 required choosing 'Center only' (a bit odd imo)
Getting ch 4 went wrong.
Trying 'Back left only' gave error message "File must have 4 channels or more".
Trying 'Back right only' showed "File must have 5 channels or more".

Problem solved, thank you.
I added a duplicate of ch 4 into a ch 5.
