Not that I've tried it, but I expect that this assumption is wrong - you 
can talk to multiple bluetooth devices with one transceiver, and I don't 
see any reason to expect headsets to be a special case?

For access via ALSA I have, for my one headset:
pcm.bluetooth {
        type bluetooth
        device "00:13:A9:C2:43:41"
}


You might have some success putting two such entries into your .asoundrc 
(you might have a pcm.bluetooth1 and pcm.bluetooth2, and obviously you 
need to enter the two device addresses for your headsets).  I do this 
under BlueZ 4.x, so it might be different in your case.

Then this kind of thing should work: mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth1 
play.mp3
