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:1607audioservice_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?

This is a proposal for augumented reality glasses interface for future maemo devices.

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.

Well the title says it
