Research direction
Start in sox/file_info.py at bitrate(), especially the conversion reported at line 64, then reproduce the failure with the input2.wav example from the issue. Verify that file_info.info() handles the reported bitrate format without raising ValueError and that the existing traceback scenario no longer fails.
