FYI, Option = Alt.
There is no Select In->Out in the timeline, but you can lift/extract In->Out.

I’d say this is definitely a source file/sequence issue.

Export the movie, so it brings up the export settings. Uncheck the Match Sequence Settings box. For the format, pick anything you want. Let’s go with Microsoft AVI. Under Preset, choose NTSC DV Widescreen. Make sure Export Video and Export Audio are checked (they should be), and you’re done.
If you want a slightly higher-quality format, go with h.264, and choose NTSC DV Widescreen High Quality for the preset. This will take longer to render, if you don’t have Mercury Engine utilizing the GPU in your system, so try both and see which one produces better results.
FYI, most of the format selections have a DV NTSC Widescreen preset.

What format are you trying to export? Your first post mentiones FLV and MPEG, and now you’re exporting a DVI-AVI. Let me know what you’re trying to accomplish, and I’ll walk you through the steps.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Realistically, we should all be hoping quite hard that premiere takes strong leaps forward with every release from this point on”
As someone who has used Premiere since it existed, I can honestly say it has taken strong leaps forward with every other version (the flow has always been brand new release with new features, followed by minor feature upgrades but tons of bug fixes). And there’s no reason to doubt that process won’t continue.

Although I’ve never experienced wait times on that scale, I’ve found it’s quicker to open the sequence, and export it to the media encoder using FILE->EXPORT (hit queue, instead of export in the encoder settings). Compared to opening a sequence from within Media Encoder (without Premiere open), it’s much quicker.
However, once the sequence is in Encoder, I’ve never had delays. How much RAM do you have, and what’s you CPU?

You can’t drag it up, because a stereo track can’t be moved into a mono track. Look at the left column of the audio tracks, and you’ll a single speaker for mono, and two speakers for stereo. If you aren’t using the 4 mono tracks, just delete them (right-click the left column, select properties, and delete unused audio tracks). This will shift Track 5 up to Track 1.
However, to do the “split,” you have to follow the instructions I posted before. However, you have to do this before placing the audio in the timeline. Once it’s in the timeline, it can’t be changed.

What OS are you running? A quick Google search suggests this is pretty nasty (your footage or the project file has been corrupted), but there are workarounds. Except they are OS specific.

I assume the Mac version is similar enough to Windows version, in which case you SHOULD change the location for these files. Put the Media Cache on a separate (fast) drive, and tell the render files to be placed in the same location as the project (unless you prefer a dedicated drive for that).

I think what’s happening is that the audio is showing up in a stereo track, specifically Track 5 (tracks 1-4 default to Mono). Scroll down in the audio timeline, and I’ll bet it’s there.
FCP usually shows stereo as L + R, and Premiere combines it into a stereo track (tracks are mono, stereo, or part of a 5.1 chain, and you can’t put a mono clip in a stereo track, etc.).
You can change a clip’s audio properties to L + R (which is handy if you have nat sound on one channel, and a lav mic on another, for instance). Before dropping a clip into a timeline, select it (or multiple clips), go to the Clip Menu, select Modify->Audio Channels. In here click the Mono radio button, and hit OK.
Now when you drag the clip into the timeline, it’ll look just like an FCP video + L + R track.
