Android: Voice Search

Is there any way that on the home screen of the Subsonic Android client that we can get a voice search button? I use Subsonic while driving, and it's not easy to type or try to find my music. If there is an easy way (using Google's API) of being able to search with voice, then that would be great.

Also, if I search for "Pearl Jam," for example, it will return me songs by Pearl Jam. Is there any way that it can return me the artist at the top of the search results, and then i can click through that to see the albums? Or if I searched for "Ten," it would return the album "Ten" at the top of search results? So what I am requesting is that the search also returns artists and albums also (sorted by Artist, Album, Song, from top to bottom), which can then be clicked through to get to the songs, etc.

I'm hoping the android version will have built in voice-search so day. For now this is the best I've been able to do - install vlingo. Do a music search inside the subsonic app and hold your finger on the search field until it asks you for the input method. Specify android keyboard. Do another search, when the keyboard appears press the voice entry button and use speech for your search. Still probably requires to many actions to be practical for driving.
