[vorbis] winamp bitrate (kbps) display wrong

[Luke Usherwood]

I have noticed that when playing OGGs in Winamp, the bitrate displayed is always much higher than the average bitrate of the file.  This was using the plugin that comes with Winamp v2.80 (v1.2 b7)

For example, the latest oggenc encoded a song to 77kbps - I verified that this matched the filesize correctly.  Apart from the first and last few seconds of the song, Winamp always displays between 85 - 103 kbps.  This must be displaying the wrong value.   (or maybe a peak bitrate between each screen update???)

This could be misleading when taking OGG to the masses!  Anyone else noticed this?
