I would very much like this feature. 
For example, when listening to music using my phone when I am sitting behind my desk, being able to control the volume from my desktop would be a lot more convenient, or when I have my phone plugged into speakers on the other side of the room. 

I would personally find desktop controlling my phone a lot more useful than the other way around.
