Having played with the beast a while ago i had the same feeling. :-)
Pulseaudio seems to have all the needed bits to handle this task without 
too much work on the bt side...

Maybe we can offer two things :
   - no smart routing at all : use bt audio daemon + alsa plugin
   - smart routing : use bt audio daemon + pulseaudio

I even have the feeling that with a properly defined unix IPC interface 
between the bt audio daemon and the plugin it would be possible to 
replace the plugin with gstreamer bt element/or even whatever other 
proprietary sound server smartphone designers would like to use :-)

Cheers,

Fabien
