Oh, I see - the speaker actually allows configuration of the slots
independently.  Usually the left/right thing on mono devices only does
something for I2S where the bus clocking enforces that there be both
left and right channels.  Either configuration is fine by me TBH, if you
can do that then you could just keep them mapped to the same channel
then mark the control as disabled since it should have no effect.
