Nyquist is about sample rate and frequency, not bitrate and frequency.

Edit: Clearly there is generally a relationship between bitrate and quality, but for compressed audio it is far from "cut and dry".

Bitrate is just samplerate * bit depth. For 44100 and 32 bit float you have 1411200 bit per second.
That's only true for uncompressed audio.
