Transcode audio bitrate `preferredBitrate`

Line 35 in f35120b

+add-limitation(scope=musicCodec&scopeName=\(audioCodec)&type=upperBound&name=audio.bitrate&value=\(preferredBitrate)&replace=true)

Does the preferredBitrate do anything? A couple of lines above the parameter maxAudioBitrate is annotated with a 'does not make a difference', but does the add-limitation work?

From my testing with postman, it does not make a difference. This repository is one of the few sources where these methods of bitrate limiting are described. Curious to learn how you found it!

I tried to log the HTTP traffic of the Plex Android app with different Audio Quality settings, but the app only sent the same request for the original file. It never uses the music/:/transcode endpoint.
