by default, the trancoding is output at 320kbps. VRB/CBR/ABR, this is as good as mp3 gets, so i think the original plan was to keep it cbr (why not, since it gave more accurate progress time on the display). Bitrate limited playback, also CBR basically because for some, that limit might be a true limit. Using average or Variable would mean that there would be times when this was exceeded. Of course, it could be said that the users should account for this.
All of this can be done through the convert.conf file, so it is relatively accessible for users to choose the best for their needs.
now that Sean has opened up bug 2006, it might be good if some interested parties tried out a few combinations of -b $BITRATE$ and -abr $BITRATE$ to see if there are any preferred settings that would be good candidates for the default convert.conf
