Comment:

 It is intentional design.  Two channel sound would result in two distance
 measurements from two speakers to one microphone.  By using only one
 speaker, only one path is tested.

 The relevant code in arange.py contains:

 {{{
 def write_wav(o):
     """
     Writes a [0,1]-scaled array o into the left channel of a 8-bit stereo
     wav-file at 48KHz
     """
 }}}

 Do not design a test for right loudspeaker output in Distance activity.
