Depends on what kind of audio you plan to output. If you are looking for a way to be able to use any application on your laptop and either output the sound locally on the laptop or remotely on the other computer, then I don't think Squeezebox is the right solution for you. In this case I think you should search the Internet for "wireless sound card" or something similar.
If you are looking for a way to select which music to play through the Squeezebox software (Logitech Media Server) on your laptop and output it either locally on the laptop or remotely on the other computer, then Squeezebox might be a good choice. In this case, you need to install a software player on the remote computer, either SoftSqueeze, SqueezePlay or SqueezeSlave. SoftSqueeze can be installed by checking it in the "Plugins" tab in Logitech Media Server settings pages, SqueezePlay can be downloaded from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/ and SlaveSqueeze is a headless player which can be downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/softsqueeze/. However, please note that the typical use case for a Squeezebox is when you have the music files on a computer and want to be able to play them when not sitting beside a computer, either by selecting what to play with a IR remote or an smartphone/tablet. -- erland Erland Isaksson ('My homepage' (http://erland.isaksson.info)) (Developer of 'many plugins/applets (both free and commercial)' (http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/User:Erland).
