Yeah, that would work if you want to dictate the VBR level instead of
the bitrate. But I think that most people using bitrate limiting really
are using it to limit the streaming bitrate. Either to deal with a
limited bandwidth internet connection (streaming from their home LMS
server), or to else to deal with wifi bandwidth issues.
VBR levels don't actually have a target bitrate. For example, I was
doing some testing of LAME recently and found that different versions
and different files can produce surprisingly different overall bitrates.
These are the resulting bitrates of just a small pert of that test:
