I've been using Bluetooth on a Pi4 (Raspbian, not piCorePlayer) for
years. Upgraded the Pi4 to a newer 64-bit distro and had some hassle,
due to changes (had to manually install bluez-alsa from a deb file), and
one speaker takes longer to connect than before, but everyting still
works. I have a python script that monitors for BT connections and then
starts a squeezelite instance. This allows me to have a speaker in the
bathroom that I just turn on and after a few seconds (this is the slower
speaker) it conncts to LMS and starts to play. This script also passes
the prev, play, pause, and next button presses onto LMS.

If you want to know the steps I used to setup BT on the Pi4/64-bit I can
post those later.
