I get that, and for me this is all just a bit of fun rather than a
pressing need.  But it does seem that, unlike the 'primary' Squeezelite
instance, the Bluetooth setup is an area where a quick ad-hoc setup
could be useful, since Bluetooth devices come and go, and people may
have have multiple Bluetooth devices to switch between (stand-alone
speakers, headphones).

I experimented a bit more, and I found that I could setup my full-time
DAC as the primary output, with nothing in the 'Tweaks' command lines,
and then by manually running /cgi-bin/bluetooth.cgi I could
scan/pair/connect a Bluetooth device, then use SSH to issue a
Squeezelite command (sudo /usr/local/bin/squeezelite -n Bluetooth -o
BTSpeaker -a 80:::0 -m b8:........) to create a player called Bluetooth.
And my RPi 3B+ seems quite happy to  simultaneously run different
playlists through the paired device and the main DAC, at the same time
as hosting LMS.

So it seems like there's an opportunity for a new feature in pCP 5.0.0,
where the Bluetooth setup moves to its own tab, and controls a second
instance of Squeezelite, completely separate from whatever is configured
on the main Squeezelite tab.
