----- The context in which you want to use both a low sampling rate  and data reduction is very important. From my file of useful  references I have found an AES Preprint by myself:

George Brock-Nannestad: "Archival Access to Historical Sound  Recordings Via Internet Using the RealAudio Data Reduction  Concept - Possibilities and Limitations With Inherently Noisy  Material", Audio Engineering Society Preprint 4497, AES 102nd  Convention 1997 March 22-25 Munich, Germany. 11pp.
(determines via experiment that signal processing of pre-1925  sound recordings must occur before encoding for transmission and  subsequent decoding when physiological data compression is  used)

The signal processing described was among other things spectral  correction for the horn and soundbox complex. Please bear in mind  that some modern noise reducing algorithms already comprise  such physiological data reduction, which may compound problems  when data reduction is used in transmission.

Best regards,
