2 channels MP3 is reported to have only one channel

Please describe the problem: I have some two channel MP3 files that are reported to only have one channel in the song metadata window of banshee. Steps to reproduce: I've actually found out about this when i used SoundConverter to convert some flac files into mp3. All the generated mp3 in Banshee are reported to be single channel ones. If i use for example VLC to read the metadata it reports the correct two channels. So i guess all you have to do to reproduce the problem is convert a flac(or any other i think) file to mp3 using SoundConverter. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
I've noticed this as well, and confirm a problem to also be transcoding from vorbis to mp3: gst-launch filesrc location=2-channel-vorbis.ogg ! decodebin ! audioconvert ! xingenc bitrate=192 ! id3v2mux ! filesink location=2-channel-mp3.mp3 The resulting MP3 will be reported to have only 1 channel.
There was a typo in Mpeg/Header.cs "(flags >> 16)" instead of "(flags >> 6)". Fixed in SVN.
