I'm coming back here for asking something new for me.

I want to capture audio from many spaces (around 7) inside a building.

Of course, low impedance + pre-amp + balanced cable would be possible, but costy, long to install etc.

I'm thinking about other ways like : audio to ethernet, HF, encoder/decoder à la shoutcast etc.

I don't need a very super high quality because I would only need these signals for visualizing the sound. Of course, if I can have super high quality it is nice.

If the distance is a issue have you thought about sending the sound over low power FM radio?

In my mind that might be the simplest approach.

You could also consider web peer to peer streaming with something like webRTC, but I'm not sure if you can get multiple input/output, maybe using the command line you could.

how about cheapo wifi cameras? Like for baby surveillance.
