"Thus you can use BT headset with applications which support the
output configuration to specific alsa device (specified in
~/.asoundrc) [b]. If your application does not allow this kind of
configuration you can also try to set the default alsa device to your
BT headset too. This will help of course only if this application
sends the output to alsa."

I think it's not possible to use it as how you expect.
