its 128 kilobits/sec
8 bits = 1 byte

128 / 8 = 16k/sec

60 secs x 16kbytes = 960 kbytes
or almost 1megabyte/sec

if you use a more flexible codec expect:

750kb/min to 1MB/min

But more useful is:

8 listeners @ 128kbps = 1Mbps
kilobits/sec = megabits/sec

so 50 listeners = 6Mbps

and if your stream stayed that way for a month it would be 1800GB or 6Mbps
