Hi Gavin,

although I was not the original creator of this thread, you very much hit the 
point, so thanks for your obviously quite thorough research :)

This would refer to Herman's posting. I am very aware of Audio formats and 
their bandwith, thus reducing sample rate, bit width, channel amount are the 
most forward reductions of bandwith (they can be renedered more or less on 
the fly as there is no psychoacoustics in it)

To still have FM Radio quality, sample rate should be >30kHz (32 kHz is quite 
common), if you can get along with mono, 12 bits you'll end up with 12 x 32 = 
384 kbps.
