NFS on a phone? What's the use case for that? Isn't it easier at that point to use small linux laptop?

I have my media collection shared via NFS over my VPN. I want to use MPD locally on my phone like I could on Maemo.

Also, if I'm at a friend's place who has a Roku, Chromecast etc, I can already cast media from my NFS collection easily from my Linux laptop via VPN. I want to be able to do the same thing with my phone.

I have a pretty good setup for MPD on Android. It's not perfect, but quite nice.
