Unless I missed something, you are importing the .wav files into the movie?
So far, I have been successful at keeping movies with sound smaller by
converting to .swa audio, and then importing them, it will decrease the size
of the Shockwave movie.

The 48 Kbits/S is a data rate, so that's how much per second will be
taken, regardless of whether it's stereo or not, or even if the
sample rate is changed. The convert to mono option will try to make
the most of the data rate, hopefully it will sound like 48 rather
than two channels of 24. In any case, you'll need to lower the data
rate to make the file smaller.
