There is no way to redirect the default audio output of an iPhone to anything else than the built-in sound device. The API does not allow that. One would need to hack a kernel module for that, but this is not documented and Apple will never approve such an application as modifing the kernel's behaviour is clearly nothing they will let users do. And apperantly, nobody has ever tried to put any efford in re-engineering that part yet, not even in the jail-break world. So the only audio you can get access to is the material you generate yourself. You're of course free to not send that to the default output but anywhere else. The only possible (and also quite useful) application would be to implement a PA client as an applicaiton to use your iPhone as audio sink for other PA servers. Hope that clarifies the situation a bit :) Daniel
