I agree 100% that the conference should be stereo, however, I am not sure that CODEC should solve еры positioning task.
There are other ways like sending the spatial position toward the client and let the client-side to the positioning job.
(remember, that in today's conference, like H.264SVC, assume that each participant MAY HAVE DIFFERENT LAYOUT of participants on the screen, therefore, spatial position can be different for different listeners).
So its not probably wise to mix in stereo on the server...

 The mono mixing in teleconferences is somewhat technically outdated. It
 would make more sense to state the requirements for stereo mixing, which
 greatly helps to quality of teleconferencing.
 Then, if participants are placed at particular positions, they can be
 identified and understood much better, especially if multiple persons
 speak at the same time.

 Thus, I would suggest to give the low complexity mono mixing a low
 priority and the stereo mixing a higher priority.
