This is being tracked in RM #252, currently subject to configuration of ALSA to route data to the bluetooth device (I think).
When RM #252 closes, I'll be able to close this issue.
Now that I've proven bluetooth audio can work, I'm tracking playing audio from the video player here.
Ugh. omxplayer doesn't support Alsa. To use omxplayer, I'd have to add an external bluetooth transmitter.
VLC might work as an alternative but it may require a lot of updates to the base platform.

I've ordered a small, round bluetooth transmitter with 3.5mm input port and cables. This will go into the player box.
It should arrive in a few days. Sad, but that's all I can do for this for now.
I need to test mplayer to see if it works as a replacement for omxplayer for video playback. It would allow me to use software configured bluetooth audio instead of having to plugin in a bluetooth transmitter. However, I know it won't have hardware accelerated playback.
I'll track this with a separate issue: RM #459.
