MP3 encoding bitrates go above 320Kbps

Description

Summary of the bug: When I encode an mp3 using the guide in documentation, I'll get frames with bitrate higher than 320Kbps.
How to reproduce:

% ffmpeg -i 2L38_01_96kHz.flac -codec:a libmp3lame -qscale:a 0 2L38_01_96kHz.mp3

The file used is from here:

I'm using ffmpeg from rpm-fusion in Fedora 20:

For reference there is a note in wikipedia in bitrate section:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MP3

Non-standard bit rates up to 640 kbit/s can be achieved with the LAME encoder and the freeformat option, although few MP3 players can play those files. According to the ISO standard, decoders are only required to be able to decode streams up to 320 kbit/s
