I like that. So -b should be eliminated, and you use -q with -M
to set an upper limit.

I had been wondering about that myself. I can't see any reason for it
other than to emulate CBR. And I don't really understand why streaming
should require CBR -- it needs a maximum, sure, but who cares about
the minimum?
