Yes - they are mp3. Apparently the LAME encoder allows arbitrary
bitrate with the free format switch enabled, and that's how these were

on this point, I don't think so. Take a look what the size of a

Doubtful, as there is no way to tell an mp3 stream that it is 384 kbps. The
header has no way to encode that bit-rate.

Yes. We're trying to get a 6.2.2 final out the door in the next day

We will start a 6.2.3 nightly build that will include the updated
