The BT connection might be stable. But don't you supply power through the USB cable anyway? In that case you might as well use a IOIO board.
I'm using XCS6.3* and the IOIO board with firmware version 3.11 and it seems to work just fine. I'm connecting a CAI302 and a FLARM simultaneously. I could plug a BT dongle into the IOIO USB port and connect the Streak via BT. But why should I since I need the USB cable anyway to power the Streak.
