frontend: Scale simple output recording audio bitrate by channel count

Browse Source 
The recording audio bitrate was hardcoded to 192 kbps regardless of
channel layout. For a 5.1 mix this yields ~32 kbps per channel which is
very low quality. Scale proportionally from the stereo reference (192
kbps) using the active channel count, snapping to the closest bitrate
supported by the selected encoder (AAC or Opus).

Stereo recordings are unchanged (192 * 2 / 2 = 192 kbps).
