inverting one of the (Left/Right) channels for stereo cable #23

I am using this great application for quite some time with my ZX Spectrum, and I made a cable to load the games which has a 3.5mm stereo jack on one side and 3.5mm mono jack on the other side. That works, but for a general customer it is easier nowadays to by a standard cable with a 3.5mm stereo-stereo jacks. It is actually very easy to use that one as well but some modification in the software should be done, so the left and right channels in the stereo output should not output the same signal. The easiest solution is that one channel should be inverted. The other solution is that one of the channels should output "0V", in other words "no signal" (a ground/GND). This feature is already implemented in a similar software PlayZX, so if it would be added to ZX Tape Player that would be great!

I had the same issue, I've been able to load the games only with PlayZX. I really like the clever UX of zx tape player and this option would be a great enhancement. I attach a screenshot of the working settings of PlayZX for a stereo cable on my [phone.] Screenshot_20230512-091327
