I bought a pair of sennheiser hd558 yesterday (for home use on my laptop) and i am surprised how they sound hooked up on my SGS (with voodoo to get everything out of the wolfson chip), the only problem is that my laptop has a onboard sound chip (Realtek ALC883) wich gives a crappy output.
 
As i am a student on a kind of tight budget i was having some "brainfarts" about making the SGS think it is a soundcard while connected to the laptop. That way i can play everything on the laptop as usuall and the output goes thru the SGS.
 
Is this possible ? If it is, is there someone willing to help me do it ? Because there is very little information available about this (only about wireless and i dont want to send a laggy stream to my phone with the possibility of losing quality).

search for some streaming solution on android market? I have the tab with the same wolfson chip but I haven't tried.

That is just the problem, there are streaming solutions over the internet but these always involve some lag, not to mention if it has to buffer.
 
I am trying to contact supercurio (the man behind voodoo) and if that doesnt bring a solution then i guess it will stay a "brainfart".

SGS has a good DAC and amplifier, it makes my SHD650 sound way better than Creative Zen,
 
but I think what you seek is difficult to realize, why don`t you just buy 32Gb external sd, and forget the laptop,

btw try poweramp, its the only android apk cappable of gapless playback,

I meant something like the VLC and Videolan server running on your laptop. I have seen a VLC for android player somewhere on the market. Do a search. Or you can try UPnP with foobar as the server.
