I'm not sure I get what you are after.  I have software to compress audio
(eg, make an MP3), resample it (eg, make 32-bit into 16-bit and reset
44.1khz as 22khz, 11khz or yeaccchhh 8khz).   What you may be looking for is
something like Soundcast that streams it to the PCs.  JOI uses that as I
recall for their in-world radio programs.  This uses the web browser sound
so I am told and the directional sound properties are lost doing that.  

For example, when building an immersive album with VRML, I use the spatial
audio (22khz mono) for ambient sounds (water, wind, doors open and close,
etc.) and turn the spatial off for presentation audio (eg, songs,
backgrounds for presentations).

So not exactly sure what you are after.  The Soundcast sounds *pretty good*
compared to say chunking it into 11khz mono (never drop below 22khz or
musicians will hunt you down and flay you with dull guitar picks).  OTOH,
nothing I've heard on the web is as good as wav files (don't start me going
on about mp3: it is turning your ears into tin) at 44khz stereo.

Does anybody have softwares which let you shrink your audio and then
send the file as fast as possible so that after composition it could be
played back quick in the model of *Citizens' Band radio* (/CB/) but
instead using better sound?
