Awesome! This is exactly the kind of experience we need. Just out of curiosity, and assuming the desktop bit gets done first, do you know if it's possible to play with the audio output layer on the iphone? I wonder if it's possible to hack in a different kext there and use a different output device for the built in media player. That would be cool :D While the market for doing this on iPhone -> Linux is probably quite low (not sure how many there would be), I'd imagine the market for doing iPhone -> OSX is much larger! Could be a real PR boon for PA if that worked! I suspect the Airfoil guys would be all over it (albeit in a different way) already tho', so perhaps it's not that easy!
