I still haven't gotten further on finally using the latest ARM C
compiler for getting more accuracy (actually, the compiler crashed
pretty hard under Virtual PC). But 64 bit multiplications would
definitely help here...

A small chance on an MP2100. They have enough internal memory to go to
maybe 1MB network buffers. An alternative would be a simple buffering
proxy server in between the Newton and the streaming server.
