Really? Was some time ago but sure I tried youtube-dl -F (list available formats) on various Soundcloud pages with download enabled and it has only ever shown the 128kbs stream version (whereas Youtube you get all streamable versions, video, audio and av.) Maybe it has been fixed since that version. I know the one you get through the Ubuntu repos doesn't even support MixCloud or some other sites I sometimes use it on so I had to update it myself...

It is their streaming bitrate. Anything uploaded will be converted to 128kbs mp3 for streaming, although the original file should stay there as well and be what is downloaded if you enable downloads.
