Videos played back video YouTube's watch pages are mono...with 2ch
folded into a mono track. Couple that with a pretty low bitrate and
sampling and it produces a pretty lousy audio. If you are looking for
high fidelity...YouTube ain't it.
You can get stereo playback by adding the &fmt=18 switch to the
video's URL.
Listen to the difference between this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGkZGu0eyMo
and this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGkZGu0eyMo&fmt=18

In the first link, dogs and cats can be heard in both channels.
In the 2nd link the dogs are exclusively in the left and cats only in
the right, as the original 2ch source was.
