Have you got that backward ?

DASH & HLS - 101

Bandwidth is declared in the initialisation parts of the streams - the
actual bandwidth could be a fraction or even a multiple - the plugin
does not calculate it or estimate it - just displays what it is told. 
AFAIK BBC use the same AAC stream same compression (i.e. compression is
just done once for all for each quality ) and then put into different
transport protocols.

HLS initialisation - (note BBC have 320000 as part of the URL)

Code:
--------------------
    
  #EXTM3U
  #EXT-X-VERSION:3
  #EXT-X-STREAM-INF:PROGRAM-ID=1,BANDWIDTH=339200,CODECS="mp4a.40.2"

DASH initialisation

Code:
--------------------
    
  <AdaptationSet group="1" contentType="audio" lang="en" minBandwidth="128000" 
maxBandwidth="320000"
  segmentAlignment="true" audioSamplingRate="48000" mimeType="audio/mp4" 
codecs="mp4a.40.2" startWithSAP="1">
  <AudioChannelConfiguration 
schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:dash:23003:3:audio_channel_configuration:2011" value="2"/>
  <Role schemeIdUri="urn:mpeg:dash:role:2011" value="main"/>
  <SegmentTemplate timescale="48000" 
initialization="audio_pop_up_01-$RepresentationID$.dash"
  media="audio_pop_up_01-$RepresentationID$-$Number$.m4s" startNumber="1" 
duration="307200"/>
  <Representation id="audio=128000" bandwidth="128000"/>
  <Representation id="audio=320000" bandwidth="320000"/>
  </AdaptationSet>
