Question

I'm running the following command:

yt-dlp -x -f 'ba*' --format-sort 'abr,codec' 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzLw6GMQ65I'

As a result, I get a 2.9MB .m4a file. When I pass -F it shows an ABR of 0k (format ID 22).

If I instead use -f 'ba', I get 3.3MB .opus file. Shouldn't ba* have selected this .opus file to begin with, since it's larger?
