If I say sndfile-info ardour-sounds-file.wav, I get

File : ardour-sounds-file.wav
Length : 22964924
RIFF : 22964916
WAVE
bext : 648
fmt  : 16
  Format        : 0x3 => WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT
  Channels      : 1
  Sample Rate   : 48000
  Block Align   : 4
  Bit Width     : 32
  Bytes/sec     : 192000
data : 22964224
End

You'd have Channels: 2 and possibly a different sample rate.
