In the Antex driver the bitrate is specified on a per-channel basis.
Therefore, requesting 64 kbits/s and stereo will result in a 128
kbits/s compressed MPEG stream. Supported bitrates (per
channel) and compression ratios are as follows:
Layer I

Layer II uses a more sophisticated compression algorithm than
Layer I, so it is recommended that Layer II be used wherever
possible.
