Final Cut Pro: Dual mono audio channels in HDV clip appear as stereo when sent to Soundtrack Pro

Symptom

An HDV clip captured as dual mono and sent from Final Cut Pro to Soundtrack Pro may have the wrong audio channel assignments. Rather than two independent mono tracks, the clip appears to have a single stereo track, with the first channel duplicated to both sides of the stereo track.

Solution

Capture the HDV clip as stereo, then both channels will send properly to Soundtrack Pro.
