A stereo plug regardless of size will have 3 sections called tip, ring and sleeve which is left channel, right channel, and a common return. So if you use a stereo 1/8" plug in the headphones jack of the laptop you will get stereo out. In most cases the music for karaoke is stereo, but I have found that some were mono or in other words exactly the same on both channels.
One note though. If you have multiplexed music with the vocals on one channel (some are left and some are right) then you may not be able to switch those on or off in Hoster.
Bryant my opinion is full sounds is always better than half sound and realistically have you gained any savings by leaving one channel out?
