A bit off topic, but I would use mediainfo for this:

mediainfo --Inform="General;%OverallBitRate%" file.ext

That would get you the overall bitrate in bps, eg:  10236425

mediainfo --Inform="General;%OverallBitRate/String%" file.ext

That would get you the overall bitrate in a more Human readable form, eg:
10.2 Mb/s
