bps might be common as bytes per second (although that's wrong), but in 
MPlayer it's also used to mean bytes and/or bits per sample. As s is the SI 
unit for seconds, I propose removing all ambiguity, at least in the output 
and maybe also in the sourcecode. There have been many times I had to 
deduce the meaning of bps by its value (2, 16, 176400, etc) and IMHO it 
should be clear at once. I.e. use b for bits, B for bytes, s for seconds 
and samples for samples.
