You're correct, but only in respect to the end-result, which (for a stereo Redbook CD) should always be 1411.2 kbps. But I've often seen the kbps expressed for compressed audio files. What it represents is the bandwidth required to _stream_ the compressed file, and can also be used to determine the relative amount of file compression.
