project manager handles audio wrong with Consolidate and transcode

steps to repro

import some stereo clips in a timeline

set audiochannels of the imported clips to mono 2 tracks

put some clips in the timeline and shorten the clips

export with manager with Consolidate and transcode

use

preset individual clips

format h264

preset copy match source-high bitrate

result

The new trimmed project has all clips mixed to mono!

This is bad, you can't compress a big project to a small resulting project with only important footage.

For us as News broadcaster this feature is important, because we often need to send a complete project via

slow internet connection.

Workaround

set all clips to stereo audio before starting manager..

This is a long standing bug please fix!

Remember the goal is to squeeze a whole project to smaller size for transmit and archive.
