It is already possible to use the plugin with gstreamer, you just need
to set the device property to "bluetooth". So my guess it that alsa
already fulfill our need of system wide mechanism to access bt audio.

This is the command line I use to play mp3 with gstreamer:
gst-launch -v filesrc location="path_to.mp3" ! decodebin !
audioconvert ! audioresample ! alsasink device=bluetooth sync=false

ps: replace "bluetooth" with "a2dpd" or "headset" to use plugins from plugz.
I also discribe how to use the plugin in other players here:
