Yes, obviously. I think this should be reviewed for one of the next
versions. At least the server should use the requested bitrate also for
streaming silence. Even better it should *always* encode the silence
with a very low bitrate. There is no reason to stream perfect silence
with a high bitrate as the result is always the same.

have yet another player on my computer.
