Hello,
I'm looking for an android app / set up that will allow to use my android phone as a remote Headphones. For example when I watch a spe effect movie on XBMC and I don't want to disturb people around.
I still can purshase a bluetooth/IR headset but still hope somebody has thought about this kind of app.
Thanks

I was thinking about the same thing yesterday. Some sort of app that will distribute audio from the XBMC host to client apps on the same network wirelessy, allowing anyone with a tablet or phone to use it as a wireless audio receiver and headphone amp / controller.
I really prefer to watch movies and tv with good headphones, it's a much better audio experience that just pulls you in, plus it solves the late night viewing volume problem.

This is an often asked feature, but until XBMC adds something on it's side it's not possible to create an app to do that.
There's no way to only get the audio stream, and no way to achieve sync.

It's a shame too, because this could be a way for others to watch in a group using a different language track, instead of having subtitles on the screen. would also be great for SAP during Live TV.

No its not enough. Network latency is not static so if anything goes wrong during playback a static latency is not enough.
