The driver does, actually, it's just that the interface for changing it isn't 
the final one, so I don't really see any point in supporting it or the other 
encoding options just yet.  The various options do persist until a reboot, so 
unless you want different recording options for live-tv and scheduled 
recordings (and I can't think of a reason why you would), the test_ioctl 
program's plenty enough to take care of setting the bitrate for now.
