Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

I have some .opus files with a bitrate below 130 kbps. They are detected as unknown when imported into Lidarr.

There is a related closed item, but they never provided the logs so it was closed without being resolved: https://github.com/Lidarr/Lidarr/issues/2784
Notice that they also had a file below 130 kbps.

Expected Behavior

.opus files below 130 kbps should be recognized as "OGG Vorbis Q5" quality or possibly some other "OGG Vorbis" quality.

Steps To Reproduce

Import a low quality .opus file of <130 kbps into lidarr.
Examine the status of the file inside Lidarr and see that it is "Unknown"

Environment

- OS: Windows 11
- Lidarr: 3.1.2.4913 (plugins branch)

I contacted the discord with this issue and they provided this screenshot of the code

As I mentioned there, I think a lot of people will run into this issue as downloads from YouTube hover around the 130 kbps mark and regularly dip below it. Decreasing the cutoff to 120 kbps should significantly reduce the incidence of this issue, though it may not eliminate it entirely. Maybe other "OGG Vorbis" qualities should be added?
