Stereo separation has no effect

[MickJT]

Or my ears aren't working. I can't tell the difference between 0%, 50% or 100%, and this is Paula audio from OctaMED SS.

Perhaps I don't understand the basic concept, what would the difference between 0% and 50% be?

Surely 100% would mean that each channel, none of the audio is duplicated to the other channel and as you progress towards 0%, the audio from one channel would be copied into the other, volume rising in the other channel until it matches the original channel at 50%, whereby futher continuation to 0% would decrease the volume in the in the original channel.

50% would be mono and 0% would be swapped channels?

It sounds wrong but I can't grasp how else it should work.

Had a quick read here: http://72.14.235.104/search?q=cache:...lnk&cd=1&gl=au

Is it that WinUAE will add a time delay if you have your speakers unequally spaced?

I think the title should be changed, to what, I don't know. Obviously it does have some effect, I just can't hear it on my setup.

I guess SS already mixes the sound to both channels. (Why does everyone always use some complex program when testing features? Always try something simple first)
