With:

gnome-base/gnome-2.28.2
net-wireless/gnome-bluetooth-2.28.6
media-sound/pulseaudio-0.9.21.1

You only go to System->Preferences->Bluetooh, "Set new device...",
detect and connect yo your headset, and then System->Sound, in the
output tab you select your headset, and all the PulseAudio
applications will output sound through your headset.

If also you have

pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}

in your ~/.asoundrc, all the ALSA applications will use PulseAudio,
and then it will work for them too.

Regards.
