Not trying to bite your head off, I'm trying to understand what you want
to do.
I'm still confused about whether you are talking about LAN (this works,
you probably know that, so I assumed that's not what you were asking
about), about using a certain streaming service, then I would wonder who
does such a ridiculous thing as wasting tons of expensive bandwidth for
streaming with these bandwidth.

Or are you talking about an environment where some private user should
stream this stuff over the internet to a remote location and then I
stand by my first comment: there is now way this is going to work,
Squeezebox or not. Including protocol and stuff you'd probably need a
stable 10Mbit of bandwidth for upload, download and all the routing in
between and that's simply not how most ISPs work these days. Buffering
only helps if you are willing to wait a few minutes before you start the
actual playback or if the shortage in bandwidth is only for a very
limited time (1s or so) AND you have EXCESS bandwidth for the rest of
the time, so you'd even need MORE bandwidth to make it feasible.
But hey, you know all this, you write it yourself.

As of my experience (and I've tried this quite a bit) you will have a
hard time getting a stable stream for 44.1/16/flac over normal, end-user
internet connections, it fails more often than it succeeds for me and
you are asking for more than four times the bandwidth.

It's not going to work.

And I told you what I would recommend to do which is to at least
downsample the stream.
