I'm not sure what online report you are talking about, I cannot see anything 
on your bugtracking system at https://gnunet.org/mantis/.

Now, I've tried a few files that I had and they all show as 128 kbps.  Could 
you either e-mail me a testfile (or upload it to Mantis) so that I can 
investigate what the file *actually* is and where we maybe wrong in the 
interpretation of the format (or maybe itunes/winamp are wrong, but that is 
less likely).

Thanks!
