Apologies about the delay in responding, the mail server I'm using went belly up and your reply was lost.

I don't own any bluetooth audio devices myself and have only been fiddling to get my mouse working, but as far is I know, the bluetooth audio support is in no better condition than the one for mice/keyboards. A quick search led me to a forum post[1] where a dongle acting as the bluetooth host allows the bluetooth audio device to connect and then converts it to a USB sound card. If you're looking for a solution in the near future that doesn't require a wire, this could potentially be an acceptable workaround.
