No bitrate reported for FLAC stream

[Đonny]

Summary of the bug:
FFprobe does not report bitrate for a stream in a FLAC file, but it reports bitrate for the whole file.
I expect that if bitrate for whole file can be determined, and the file contains just one stream, the bitrate for that stream will be more or less same as stream of the file.
How to reproduce:

ffprobe sample.flac -print_format xml -show_streams -show_format

The input file for which FFprobe does not report bitrate of stream

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

I wonder if this isn't the intended behaviour given that a flac stream never has a bitrate in the usual sense but every media stream has a (meaningless) average bitrate.

For future tickets: Please only provide ffprobe output for issues that are not reproducible with ffmpeg.

[Carl Eugen Hoyos]

To the best of my knowledge, this works as intended.
