You should try Apple Quicktime (.m4a). The AAC codec used is easily
20% more efficient than mp3 - ie: you get the same quality with a
128kbps AAC stream as with a 160kbps mp3 stream - and almost everyone
can play it back.

I don't know of any automatic tool to do that. audacity lets you do it
manually, though.

audacity can do that. Use markers and tell it to slice the data on the
markers and output individual files.

It also has a filter for doing that.

audacity can output mp3, ogg or wav data. You can then use ffmpeg to
transcode it to mpeg-4/aac and ffserver (part of ffmpeg, but I've never
used it myself) to stream it over the 'Net.
