Hi Yang,
I'm not a expert at this. IIRC SCO connection is designed to carry fixed 
rated data, which is 64kbps[1]. In your case, you are expecting about 
16bit*8K = 128kbps, which is beyond of SCO's capability. Maybe you can 
consider creating two SCO links (the upper limit is 3 between two 
Bluetooth devices) to carry your data or maybe you could consider using 
a eSCO link?
Again, I'm not good at this, just saying...

Regards,
Zhu Yanhai
