In case you have not noticed already, you should be able to play audio attachments in email messages and support audio files in all the QuickTime audio formats it supports, including MP3 AAC and WAV. - Stream all Audio to a Bluetooth headset:
As per AppleInsider this is due to a bug but you can also be used as a feature hence I am listing it here. iPhone firmware 1.1.1 allows you to stream all audio, including iPod songs, audio from movies and TV shows and even keyboard taps and system sounds to a Bluetooth headset. Previously, only phone calls and voicemail (when enabled) were streamed to Bluetooth headsets.Instructions on how to get this working courtesy AppleInsider:
„To take advantage of the bug and begin streaming music wirelessly, simply initiate a connection between your Bluetooth headset and the iPhone. Once the iPhone recognizes a connection from your paired headset, enter the Visual Voicemail interface under the phone application and select the „Audio“ button from the upper right-hand corner of the screen. (If you do not have a Bluetooth headset paired to the iPhone or your Bluetooth headset has not initiated a connection with the iPhone, this button will instead say „Speaker“.)“
