Out of interest, what would be the point in this? If you are plugging in external mics and need independent control, really you are requiring a level of audio that's beyond what a DSLR provides, and should be thinking of either a professional video camera with XLR's, phantom power etc, or an external recording device, like a Zoom H4N or some other audio box that gives you proper preamps and level control.
If you are not plugging in external mics, then separate levels is largely pointless as the mic is essentially receiving the same signal for left and right channels (it's tiny and in one position). The *only* reason I can think of for independant levels is for safety, to let one side be -12dB down than the other, as a safety backup channel if levels get really loud and distort - the DLSR preamps are poor and thus can't be run at a large headroom to account for this - in this case, I can see it would be useful (and I do this on other cameras quite often).
The internal mic on a DSLR is really only for quick and dirty stuff, or reference audio. Any further requirements to that and you should probably be upgrading your audio gear.
Note - I was actually an audio guy a long time before being a photographer/videographer, and I've also got a Sony professional video camera. DSLR audio is (currently, it will probably change) poor at best.

Typically, DSLR's use fairly heavy compression. This keeps the file sizes down, at the expense of "quality". How that loss of quality appears will depend on the footage. For example, if you have an area in the frame of very high detail, like a sparkly shiny cloth, that will rob the video of much of it's bandwidth, causing other parts of the frame to lose detail and be washed out.
Increasing the bit rate means there is less overall compression and more bandwidth, which means that cases like these don't rob the video of quality and fine details. This is only one example, there are other cases where you can also see artifacts, poor compression, blocky handling, loss of detail etc.
Now - if you are shooting video and for your purposes are fine with the default quality, then you don't need to increase the bit rate.
However, there are some of us that do want this control, and to have the ability to increase the birate if the scenario requires it - so, it's a good feature to have..

Wow, but is it worth the epic size?

There are no signs that Canon might release an official version of Magic Lantern yet.

Ugggg..... What a Nooob!!!
Actually I have been doing this for so long I don't really qualify as a noob but man did I make a NOOB mistake. So you all know the little white box on the Canon DSLR that stares us directly in the face all the time (except when ML is running). Well... I decided to try the Alpha of ML on a job this weekend on the 7D and I was recording out to a Ninja 2 with all drawing OFF via ML. And it looks great except the white box decides to come on arbitrarily!! The worst part is I am so used to seeing it I totally ignore it through most of the day shooting. UGGGGG!!!!! Then to make it worst I think there were a couple of times I turned the camera off and then back on expecting ML to autoexe load like on our 60Ds (dooooooo).
I should have used the Ninja with one of our 60Ds as usual. I'll be waiting for the final release now... Bummer.
Thank you so much for the work you guys are doing with ML on the 7D and all the cameras it is awesome. We really appreciate it.I guess the main thing I wanted you to all know is that the white box on a clear drawing doesn't stay off at this point so keep an eye on it! Usually hitting the trashcan back to the ML menu and back will clear it. I also noticed hitting any other Canon menu item usually refreshes the White box and puts it back on screen.

i will have a look into that issue. maybe i find some way to do that.
but for now i think its ok to record on CF - what are the advantages you would see with that feature?

is this what you expect from clean HDMI?
please understand that the resolution still is limited to 1620x1080 and thats not easy to defeat.
also the method i use to disable paintings is somewhat problematic and will not work stable.
(canon menus might crash afterwards)
