Is there a way to use Linux PC in the same subnet as headphones for an #Android 10 phone (without any external hardware and without bluetooth card), possibly via RTP or any other non-propriertary protocol? I. e. speakers of the phone should not produce any sound.

@vftdan
Is there any particular reason why you want to use the Linux PC for output only? Why not run mpd there so it handles everything — decoding, storage and output and control it remotely with mpd client like M.A.L.P. running on the phone?

@m0xee
Well, I just wanted to have a way to output sound from my phone without:
- usbc - minijack adapter
- bluetooth devices
- unmuting speakers
- any other additional hardware

It seems that Android doesn't have an API for creating virtual audio sinks.

@vftdan No, nothing comes to mind. Maybe you can make the computer act as DLNA media playback device and your phone as a server so you can use the computer as sound sink. Would not be easy on the battery, but I'd probably try digging in that direction.
I ended up using Bluetooth, I have bluez-alsa running on my laptops in sink mode so I can use any of them as a Bluetooth speaker, but that's not what you want 😕
