Possible to send all audio from iPad to Windows PC wirelessly?
Is there some way I can send all audio from my iPad to my music production PC running Windows 7 over WiFi so that I can hear the sound through my studio monitors while composing on mobile? I almost always work on my iPad in bed, which is only a few feet from my PC, and I'm tired of wearing headphones. It would be awesome if there was a way to do this. If someone could let me know how it might be done, I would really appreciate it. I'm a bit of a noob to the iPad, so I'm not real familiar with technologies such as AirPlay and whether or not it could do this. The videos I've found on the subject are all about streaming music from a library to a computer. It is not clear to me if this would work with all of the audio coming out of the iPad from multiple apps.

I actually just figured out a way to do this with shairport4w and AirPlay. It works but there is extreme latency, to the point that it's unusable for production. I assume this would be the case with any method of sending audio over WiFi. Sorry for jumping the gun and posting. Can't find an option to delete the post.
Pretty much yes. If you want no latency you need wires I'm afraid.
Yeah, I'm still playing with it and have been able to reduce the latency significantly by bringing the buffering frame size in shairport4w down to the absolute minimum of 30, but there is still enough of a lag to make live jamming not feasible.
You can reduce WiFi latency significantly by creating an ad-hoc network so that the wifi goes directly between the PC and the iPad, without having to go through a router. Neither device will have Internet access, while directly connected though.
But ... If your bed is only a few feet from your PC, why wouldn't you just use a cable?
I originally thought it would be nice to not be tethered to anything, but I realize now that its the best way. I'm going to fiddle with an ad-hoc network to see how it goes, but I'm buying a cable from monoprice right now. The only cable I have right now which is 3.5 mm to 1/4 inch (to fit my interface) is 3 feet, which isn't enough to lay down comfortably.
Even with an ad-hoc network the latency is still noticeable. Hell. Even using a Bluetooth speaker it's noticeable. Hence why I just use wired cables now when producing. You can't get <11ms latency wirelessly. Not consistently without spikes anyways.
OT, But...
Even with air you get latency. About 3ms per meter (~1ms per foot)
It's funny how we don't perceive that very real latency to the same extent we do when it's caused by an app, wifi, Bluetooth, etc. I guess we must have some built-in perception correction in 3D space that doesn't apply when using a device.
Lol. I can actually perceive that latency. I use a Subpac when I'm doing production on my desktop. And there's percievable latency from the sound leaving my monitors and reaching my ears compared to the subpacs vibrations. It's why I use my Headphones alongside the Subpac.
Hmm...That gave me an idea :
Could it be possible to get the main audio flux thru wifi from an Ipad to a Mac ?
What I would like to do in this case is to use my Mac as a simple stereo recorder using Audacity on the Mac.
That's just for recording live, and avoid CPU/hardrive usage on the Ipad for an app recording on the local Ipad, so I don't mind latency in this case.
I tried "Airfoil satellite for Mac" here

Free to try for 10 minutes, and it streams, but it cut the audio from the Ipad, and you can't record it...
I've seen these solutions, but I don't know if it allows the Ipad to play sound internally !

Any clue ?...
@insight.
Go find a headphone extension cable. They come with a male and a female 1/8" trs, just what you need. The one I use is two meters long....
