OT, but i had an idea yesterday... will explain in UX language: would it be possible to send video to chromecast-like device and 'leave sound on mobile device' to be able to listen on bluetooth connected headphones while watching on big screen?

I've thought about the same thing, but I don't think it's feasible because you essentially need to play the video in both places and ensure it stays in sync. The easy solution is to hook up a Bluetooth transmitted to your TV.
I know, but it _could_ use one stream and send audio to mobile via LAN. Syncing would be an issue, though. Overengineering at its best. ;)
That would be cool. Roku boxes actually come with a headphone jack in the remote so you can do just that (but not through bluetooth).
