that shouldn't be such a problem. It is only audio data.

I have a couple of UART based development kits at home and I can
actually test it. However you shouldn't think about the actual transport
at all. This is the job of the driver and not the Bluetooth core. So it
must work with SCO flow control enabled and disabled.

That is wrong. The IEEE specification was written based on the Bluetooth
specification. What gets released by the Bluetooth SIG at bluetooth.com
is the specification that counts.
