...to a stereo amp?
I've just been doing as suggested, using the player's own stereo out. No problem yet with intelligibility!
I was only worried by what I read, about BDs having no real two-channel mix.

and some others are sure to do so in the future. If an error can be made, there's always someone around to make it.
There are a couple of BDs of older films, "The Searchers" for one, with mono sound tracks. I was looking at the BD selection available locally yesterday and if I remember correctly "The Road Warrior" starring Mel Gibson actually has a stereo sound track so there's a stereo BD for you. The film may not be to your taste and I have to admit that I passed it by myself. Stereo soundtracks on BD are not impossible but I think you'll only see them on older films and at present there are relatively few films available on BD which did not have surround soundtracks when they originally released and I think there is little motivation to go back and create stereo soundtracks for hi def releases. I suspect there's a lot more chance of seeing the original soundtrack format preserved so I'd keep my eye out for re-releases of older films if you want native stereo on BD discs.
Selecting the stereo sound track option on DVDs is definitely the way to go when a stereo option is provided but a lot of people have a tendency to just tell the player to play the disc and accept the default soundtrack without investigating what's available, and the default is more and more often surround. It will definitely be surround with BD.
