I think it should be a toggle. Generally, I think this is a great change. I do 
not ever want to hear voiceover through a Bluetooth speaker. But I understand 
there are use cases for it. So I think the best solution would be a toggle. I 
don’t see that this is at all the same as plugging in a headset. Often, people 
use Bluetooth speakers somore than one person can listen. There is a training 
scenario where voiceover would be useful in such cases, but there is also an 
equally valid scenario where absolutely no one wants to hear voiceover over the 
speaker interrupting the entertainment. it seems ridiculous to expect someone 
to purchase an airplay speaker, if they have a nice Bluetooth speaker which 
meets the entertainment need.
