Just to explain where these numbers come from, CD audio is:

2     channels
*16    bits per sample
*44100 samples per second
______
1,411,200 bps

Lossless compression usually gets 40% file size reduction which is how
you get numbers in the 800-900kbps range.

Unlike mp3, aac etc, with lossless compression you get whatever it can
get - you never tell it what bitrate to output. Some lossless
compressors take a setting which tells it "how hard to try". This
usually gives tiny improvements in compression for very large increases
in compression time.
