I'm not an expert too, but something like jack enable you to add/remove/
reroute plenty of element, may you could build a workaround by re-routing
the main output to bluetooh (but I may also telling you a bullshit, you need
a very good skilled sound/ALSA/jack/pulseaudio guy)
May be pulseaudio could also help you.

As Eugen told you, it would be good to ask your question in these MLs
as it is specific. (some allow you to post without beeing subscribed.)
