where movie.avi is the video to be played, and 192.168.0.5 is the address of N900. This will show the video on the PC and stream the audio through the LAN. Then in N900 terminal type:

mplayer udp://@:2010

to play the audio on the N900. You can use +/- keys to sync audio delay if necessary. I also use bluemaemo to control vlc from my N900
One of the latest technologies in headphones today are Bluetooth headphones or they are also called wireless headphones. With Bluetooth headphone we can move around freely without having to worry about getting all tangled up with the cables attached to mobile phones, laptops etc. There are number of choices in Bluetooth headphones. We should make sure that we buy the best one.
