IIRC, the nominal bitrate can be unset too.  This means it is the default
of the specific encoder (libvorbis) version.  The default has changed from
160 to 128 and will probably go down with channel coupling.  This means
that files with all 3 fields unset provide no useful information.
Wouldn't it be better if libvorbis filled the nominal field with the
default used?  The spec will still allow files with all fields unset but
less such files will be created.
