Consider MP3, it is one of the most widely-supported audio formats, and
there is a huge number of tools available to make them.
'HTTP Streaming' via a a web page is easy by making a link to a playlist
file '.m3u' by convention, that contains the complete URL to your file on
the first line.
For example, on the link you gave in the question, if your MP3 file was
named: 'sound.mp3'
make a file called 'sound.m3u' containing one line:
http://www.le.ac.uk/emoha/schools/toys/sound/sound.mp3
And make the link on your HTML web-page point to the m3u file and not the
mp3 file.
Have a look at this example to see what I mean:
