Answer 1

You are sending a whole snapshot each time? Why don't you try to use some video compressing techniques, like instead of sending a full image each time you send a compressed version (maybe a diff or something like that) and them on the server you create the image based on your last image and the data just received. I think all video codecs do this, you could try looking at some of the open codecs specification to get some ideas.

About audio. I would send the audio stream separated and them sync it with the video streaming based on which video frame we are showing right now.

Basically, I would try to get my streaming as close as possible to how a real video streaming works. Maybe you could look into ffmpeg, ffmpeg has an rtsp server if you could build that for android them you would simplify your work a lot.
