Not that I've tried it, but I expect that this assumption is wrong - you can talk to multiple bluetooth devices with one transceiver, and I don't see any reason to expect headsets to be a special case? For access via ALSA I have, for my one headset: pcm.bluetooth { type bluetooth device "00:13:A9:C2:43:41" } You might have some success putting two such entries into your .asoundrc (you might have a pcm.bluetooth1 and pcm.bluetooth2, and obviously you need to enter the two device addresses for your headsets). I do this under BlueZ 4.x, so it might be different in your case. Then this kind of thing should work: mplayer -ao alsa:device=bluetooth1 play.mp3
