I don't see any restriction in the code, and the standard doesn't seem
to imply any restriction either:

  What is the full range of data rates for Dolby Digital Plus?

  Dolby Digital Plus can scale from 32 kbps all the way up to 6 Mbps. A
  typical range for Dolby Digital Plus on high-definition optical discs
  is 768 kbps to 1.5 Mbps.
