Comment (by cehoyos):

 There is definitely a bug, it is just unknown whether the bug is in the
 documentation or the code:
 https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html#Audio-Options mentions the same
 {{{stream_specifier}}} for {{{-ac}}} as https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-all.html
 #Main-options for {{{-codec}}} but the following does not work as
 documented:
 {{{

 The following - unexpectedly - does produce stereo output:
 {{{

 2 out.avi
 }}}
 Not a regression afaict.
