Ah, now I see. Well, first of all, those numbers are per channel, and
stereo files have two channels. And then it also appears to be pretty
outdated, afaik one could expect more than 256kbps per channel on some
hard to encode clips at -q 10.

I also believe to remember that documentation fixes etc have pretty low
priority at the moment.
