1) The size reason _is_ a very big issue.
2) Why stereo? 99,99999999% of all custom sounds don't need to be stereo at all. This feature isn't a "share your music" option, it is to play short sound clips. Sound clips which don't need stereo sound.
eg: What is the difference in a hearing a burp in stereo or hearing it in mono? Does the stereo add anything usefull to it? Has it a specific function? Nope... It only adds much more filesize, nothing more.
Quality isn't the most important in this custom sound feature. If you want quality than I suggest you send the original wave files to your contacts instead of using this feature.
And even if there was a stereo option, in almost all cases it wouldn't add anything more to the quality at all and the left and right channel would simply be a copy of each other. In other words it would simply be a double mono sound. In other words, waste of bandwidth as a true mono sound is played just the same way...

What do you mean? There is nothing changed in how sounds are stored or created since the feature was first added. This goes also for how sounds are exported/imported from soundpacks.
