Bluetooth audio profiles are implemented in 3 different ways: as an
ALSA driver (soon-to-be deprecated), GStreamer elements (SBC decoder,
A2DP sink, etc), and PulseAudio modules (recommended). These last ones
lives on PulseAudio's tree, the other two live on bluez' tree, so if
configure finds it's headers it enables compilation of the respective
modules.
