fwiw, I made some improvements and put a line in the asound.conf that 
should help you see where to put the address.

headsetd will connect on demand when you use the audio device.

after your address is in .asoundrc, you can launch an alsa client and 
set the alsa device to "headset" and try to use it. see the build page. 
most clients don't let you easily choose this device.

hcidump -X -V will have a lot of output, but in the dump you'll find the 
occasional gem to figure out what is happening. I run it, try to do the 
operation that is failing, then stop the dump and examine its output.
