Most of features you described was implemented in the needed components (gnome-volume-control / gnome-bluetooth / pulseaudio), Why didn't you check upstream before starting on that? Usually this is always better to check with upstream developers, to see if the feature is required and how this is feasible. For instance audio on bluetooth in karmic (the development version) is easy as: - setup your device in gnome-bluetooth, and connect to it - change the audio output to be stream to the bluetooth device.
