Remarks
Retrieves a specific encoding bitrate (for Constant Bitrate or CBR) supported by Windows Media components for a given frequency and number of channels.
The number of available bitrates can be obtained using the EncodeFormats.WMA.GetEncodingCBRCount method.
For further details about encoding in WMA format refer to the WMA object section.
For further information about available encoding formats see the EncodeFormats object.
