I tried exactly the same thing, but was unable to get anything to play using asound.

However the A2DP uses a different path, it sends system PCM into the audio chip and then routes it 
to the PCM out which goes directly to the BT chip. It is nice to know they heard something, however 
there are other issues with this path that are hinted at on the wolfson site,there maybe a clocking 
issue between the i2c input and the pcm output, at least that seems true for the reverse direction.

BT headset to/from GSM is yet another path, and should not involve the CPU at all (other than for 
setup).
