you don't have to. The bluez-utils-3.36 comes with an audio plugin  
that does all this for you. You just have to add 4 magic lines  
into .asoundrc. See wiki.bluez.org for these for it.

We have native support for ALSA and GStreamer with the audio plugin  
and it can either use the headset profile or A2DP. And native  
PulseAudio support is in the making :)

Regards

Marcel
