This is probably a typo, but CD audio bitrate is 1411 kbps, not 1141 kbps. Also if wikipedia has any value to it, NTSC has a bitrate of 1410 kbps, and PAL has a bitrate of 1411 kbps
From wikipedia: 2 channels, 16 bit, 44.1KHz sample rate for PAL and 44056Hz for NTSC.
The audio on Laserdiscs is ususally better than on DVDs because it is uncompressed PCM on laserdiscs, while most dvds have compressed sound in order to save space. The 97 SE also had a 5.1 track stored on one of the analog channels, which has a bit rate of 384 kbps (standard for most 5.1 dvd dolby tracks)
