Not particularly. They're hints to the caching code, but the player ought to be able to cope without them. Just leave them out for your files and see what happens.

Some releases do fail to cope if the bitrate is absent. None should fail to cope if it's inaccurate, though. If you're going to guess, it's more conservative to (a) overestimate and (b) go for vs rather than fs.
