Stream audio from PC to bluetooth headset via android phone

I have 16.04 Ubuntu on my Laptop (no bluetooth device on the laptop). I have a bluetooth headset and an android phone. Is there anyway I can connect my phone to the laptop and use the phone's bluetooth to redirect the audio stream from PC to the headset?

On the android phone:

• install and run Bubble UPnP (tested) or any other DLNA or Chromecast client
• pair and select your Bluetooth headset as output

On Ubuntu:

• install and run pulseaudio-dlna (in the Universe repo from 16.10)
• select Bubble UPnP from Sound Settings menu

Note that there will be some unavoidable lag from network buffering.
