Interesting idea - but it is too klutzy for me to put my old and heavy 
laptop on the passenger seat,
and play such media with  mplayer, or vlc or ffplay or other players.
If I MUST use my laptop, I will just use a miniature headset, or a BT 
headset that
receives the audio from a BT audio xmitter I plug into the audio out 
port of the laptop or into
the USB port. I am not sure Linux has drivers for a USB based BT device 
that has audio in/out ports.
