Per description of streaming mode logger sounds like a right tool. But
I'm totally agree with you it would be too expensive:
Streaming Mode
Streaming mode is pretty much like file mode, except that data is sent
to an external command on standard input. This allows forwarding audit
data to other hosts via arbitrary mechanisms (including stunnel, ssh,
etc).
But it looks like there is another way to achieve kind of the same
result by configuring actions:
Actions:
Actions to be performed in response to an output error, or a disk
usage problem, can be defined as follows:
action name {
type = ...;
data...
};
The value of type specifies what sort of action to perform; data
contains additional information for the particular type of action.
....
syslog
will log a message to the system log, using the log facility and
priority specified by the facility and priority variable.

I thought about that. Auditd is a high volume tool - calling logger for
every message seems awfully expensive resource wise.
