You'll need some *mighty* wide sidebands to deliver a 1411 kbps Red Book
audio stream to the receiver!!

Even with lossless compression, which can deliver a mathematically correct
Red Book audio stream, you're only down to about 700 kbps.  Maybe then you
can fit two "CD quality" HD signals on the entire FM band, instead of only
one!
