Interesting. Would it be terribly difficult to make the technical info
more relevant/accurate? Perhaps something like...

Bitrate: <nnnn.n>kbps VBR/CBR/etc.
Sample Rate: 96.0 kHz (converted to 48 kHz)
Sample Size: 24Bits

Where VBR implies estimate/nominal/max/etc., and CBR means it's PCM so
kbps is fixed/accurate?

Thanks for the info!!
