Summary0009705: ProTools import doesn't import stereo tracks properly
DescriptionI have a few protools session files with stereo tracks. On importing these, the corresponding ardour tracks are created mono, but end up with both the left & right audio regions layered in the same track.
TagsNo tags attached.

colinf: Sorry for huge delay in getting back to you. Do you have a test protools session file you could share publically that contains at least one stereo track that I could also commit to my repo? I knew this was a problem but I don't have any way to reproduce it in ptformat.

There are a few oddities still: I have some sessions where the PT file import progress bar jumps around rather than smoothly increasing. Also, I'm still hitting the extreme slowness issue in 0009730 on larger sessions, so I can only test a few of the examples I have here.

I added a commit that might speed it up slightly a1cc689e26 but it still takes a long time on sessions with more than 100 tracks.
