yes. that is how it works. the stereo display settings
only affect the OpenGL output drivers.

i have been thinking about it and may give it a shot for a
demo at the GTC'10 conference (if there is time). the question
is not so much about rendering (you can easily render the
left and right eye images separately), but about compression
and playback. what kind of encoding would you want to use
and what player software would you want to use?
there are no widely accepted standards so you'd have to
use some kind of proprietary solution or implement one yourself.

cheers,
