Is there a way to make N900 to a remote speaker?

Sure, if someone implements it.

Maybe even A2DP can be made to work other way, from PC to N900.

Having N900 to emulate USB-soundcard maybe is more difficult.

If nothing else works, at least gstreaming over a network connection (BT/WLAN/USB/GPRS).

Would be great if someone could do this, or post a way here to DIY

You should install NAS (Network Audio System) Server on N900 - it's available on repos. Next, you should configure client(it's pretty easy) and use it as a default sound device or use with some players(mplayer -ao nas, for example).
It's better to do over wi-fi, but I guess it's possible also over Bluetooth Networking.

what use case are you targeting with this feature?

I think that a better solution would be to do it over WiFi via PulseAudio.

Yep, NAS doesn't work (for me, at least) - default configuration is unusable for Maemo, and even after manual configuration, it doesn't work - I got some "buffer underrun" errors.

The next possibility is PulseAudio, of course. But, seems it doesn't work for now either:
In theory:
On N900:
Code:
apt-get install pulseaudio-module-extra
stop pulseaudio
pulseaudio -C
load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-anonymous=1 port=6000 listen=192.168.2.15
On client:
Code:
export PULSE_SERVER=192.168.2.15:6000
mplayer -ao pulse song.mp3
(or use pax11publish -e -S 192.168.2.15 command to make this server active for all audio output on client)

But it doesn't work - I got "E: protocol-native.c: protocol error, kicking client". Seems the protocol's version mismatch problem. On N900 we have "0.9.15" version, on my Ubuntu 10.10 client - "0.9.21-63-gd3efa-dirty".

I would like to watch VIDEO on PC, and sit down in my bed with headphones on, the distance is 4 meters, and i don't want any cables.

I was suggesting Bluetooth, because it looked really simple, for example I searched for devices on my Nokia 6300 it found my netbook, available services ... remote audio (or something like that). I clicked on it, ant thats it. Now all the audio for my dumbphone, goes from my netbook.
The way that people pushed N900 to do things is nothing like I ever seen, so i thought this could be a simple task for N900. (Even bluetooh dialup was made by community)
The problem with wifi I have AIRFOIL (google it) and the audio lags behind, and sometimes is choppy, bluetooth on the other hand was used for audio for a long time, and worked flawlessly.
Thanks for all the help guys

Would the same setup work to use the N900 as a bluetooth headset??? I have a bluetooth enabled home phone & it would be nice to be able to answer the home phone on the N900.

I can do it the other way,... using the home phone handsets to answer N900 calls. But it would be nice to be able to go either way.

Are headsets better than the n900?

I can send music to my headset via bluetooth.
But I can't send music to my n900 via bluetooth!!!

Isn't that ridicul.
