I had hoped that there was a method as simple as turning mono to stereo, but it appears there isn't.
OK, but before you give up, as steve said for FLAC files, the encoding is: L, R, C, LFE, SL, SR, RL, RR

So to keep things simple, go to your 7th (2nd to last track), and in the drop-down click on Make Stereo Track.
Repeat for the 5th track.
Repeat for the 1st track.

Make sure you start at the end.

Merry Christmas. :D
