Russ,

Audacity has a set of commands that let you export just one or the other side 
of a stereo source file to a new mono file containing just the left or right 
audio. Look in the manual under “Advanced Mixing Options.” 

http://manual.audacityteam.org/man/advanced_mixing_options.html

The program is set up to construct multi-channel files in this manner, but it 
looks like it should be able to do the simpler task you’re looking for.

And yes, a mono file should play equally out of both speakers on almost any 
player or DAW.

Adobe Audition and Avid Pro Tools, among others, also have the ability to split 
interleaved stereo files if you have access to those apps.
