I'd be fine with release/recording–store relationships that specify the
encoding, assuming the various encodings were sourced from the same lossless
files. 16-bit and 24-bit releases should probably be separate and I've in
fact added a 24-bit release which had a different barcode the the 16-bit
release:
http://musicbrainz.org/release-group/5f7b384f-cb70-40c7-9570-6139ccb0be73
This being the case, sample rate/bit rate info could be an attribute of the
medium itself (oh dear, how specific do we get? Perhaps release-level URL
attributes are too inspecific?).
