Dare we ask why? Are you really trying to leave the room and keep listening to a film, or are you effectively talking about streaming audio to an Android client and don't care about the video?

Mainly to keep the noise from disturbing others in the house either early mornings or late nights

If you use pulseaudio (and you will probably need to compile your own) you may be able sream audio to the phone via bluetooth.

Play the video at the same time on both the TV and android device but use the TV for video and android device for audio...
