the alsa plugin with most of the bluez logic is a shared object, so
the alsa audio client is effectively transmitting directly to the
headset.

unlike the alsa plugin, the gstreamer stuff breaks up the problem.
There is one gstreamer component for encoding and a separate one for
transmission. You wouldn't have to change the transmission part.
