I've seen various artist netlabel releases where each track is published 
as they received it from the artist.  So that means different audio 
formats and bit rates for each track.

(Obviously that is very rare, and we shouldn't necessarily support it in 
musicbrainz, but it illustrates that even medium level is not specific 
enough in a few cases).
