   If you see that again, post the link.  I'd like to see what you     
   were looking at.   
      
   If your phone supports Bluetooth, you can probably use that to     
   provide your signal to your pc.  Your pc just needs to support     
   bluetooth too.  If you are afraid of using wifi at the phone,     
   you can probably select Bluetooth-tethering when you enable the     
   phone's mobile hotspot feature.

   But that's differnet. The phone is merely supplying the regular     
   audio output/in over bluetooth to the earpiece/mike.

   Then use bluetooth!
