I could be wrong, but I believe that the bits DO represent just the
volume - doesn't each sample represent the amplitude of the original
analogue wave?  At 44,100 samples per second, the varying amplitude
recreates the individual frequencies in the original signal up to the
Nyquist frequency of 22.05 KHz

What would that 1 bit tell you?  1 bit for volume? On or off?
