When using n900 as mp3 player it would be awesome if volume keys worked even if display and keys are locked (and device under security code). It would help to adjust volume if i could do it "one hand in pocket" without unlocking device and entering security code. It just takes too much time and attention.

Volume control should be usable when media player is on and keys/display locked

Simple IR Reciver for N900 to add new devices to Irreco

I had an idea to create a desktop widget that can send the IR commands needed to a Nikon DSLR so that you can use the remote shutter. That one came true and its very neat.

N900 used as wireless headphones

I often use headphones when watching movies because I don't want to wake up my little son, and I bought those big wireless headphones.
The idea is to use the phone as bluetooth (or wifi?) receiver for audio played on a desktop pc. It would be great to, for example:
1) control the mediaplayer on the pc
2) pause in case of incoming calls
3) pause when you move too much far
and so on.
following the steps described in: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices i get:
mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth mymovie.avi
...
...
...
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: audio/pcm_bluetooth.c:1607
audioservice_expect) BT_GET_CAPABILITIES failed : Input/output error(5)
[AO_ALSA] Playback open error: Input/output error
Failed to initialize audio driver 'alsa:device=bluetooth'
...
...
...
First of all, is this possible?
