Maybe neat on headphones, but definitely the wrong thing for
reproduction on speakers. Also bad for mono compatibility.
And since it's closed source it's not possible to change 
this to normal panning, which would be a trivial exercise
otherwise.

I've got ~3TB of floating point files here, and I'm not going
to convert them just to be able to use a particular - any - SW.
The summing being exact is quite irrelevant if the rest isn't, 
and doesn't need to be anyway.

Indeed.
