Yes. The patch you are using is the mono version. Search for rec2.ck  
in the examples, it is stereo. The one you are using takes the output  
of the dac into a wavrecord. What you need to do is have two  
wavrecord objects and each one will record a channel.

dac.left => wavrecord left => blackhole;
dac.right => wavrecord right => blackhole;
// set filenames etc
..

The convention is to have a .L and a .R file. You can combine these  
together into a stereo track in Audacity or ecasound or some other  
audio editor or processor. This did show up on the mailing list  
around November 05. Try searching the archives for more details.

I hope this helps.
