Feature request: Send audio to device, keep video on screen

Perhaps, I'm the only one that would like this feature, but maybe not.  Having  two children under 2 years old and a wife with super hearing, watching movies at night is either a constant battle with the up/down volume buttons, or having to watch them on my tiny 7" tablet screen with headphones.  

 

I think many a married night owls would like this feature.

 

Play the video on the television, but send the audio to a device.  This would allow me to turn the volume up on my tablet, which my headphones are plugged into, and still watch the video on my television.  

 

Biggest issue that I can see would be the audio sync up with the video.

 

Anyone else interested in this?

definitely interested.

I bought a Roku 3 when I was in America but uh...... left the remote in accommodation :(

To explain, the remote on the Roku 3 can output sound to headphones.

+1 from me, basically wireless headphones without the cost!

another vote from me!

Lets keep the requests all in one place please
