Well I got it working properly again. I couldn't find anything in the ini file that controls the output channels. However, by trying to merge tracks to compressed file and making sure I had chosen a stereo codec I got RB to output a stereo wav file before crashing again (it can't seem to generate the compressed file).

After re-booting the PC I chose to load the default settings and after that the merge tracks to wav command is working properly and giving a stereo file. Unfortunately that doesn't tell me whether it was the LAME encoder that caused the problem or whether some setting, or corruption, in the ini or cfg files caused the problem.

Anyway, it's working. Now I have to figure out why RB can't use the LAME encoder without crashing.
