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.
