I've googled and googled and searched the oesf forums and it doesn't seem like anyone has an answer. It appears that you would need to get btsco compiled but its dependencies include alsa etc. which looks difficult to get running on a 2.4.20 kernel. I'm most interested in using it with KPhone, so I need it to work with voice quality sound as well as a mic.
Love to hear if anyone has had success.

Yeah, I found that. It looks like they are using a2play to try to get stereo over bluetooth. They have gotten to the point where it looks like it is transmitting but no sound

The problem here is that it looks like it requires ALSA and an emu10k1 driver. I don't believe there is an ALSA package for the z. Or is there?
There is also this:

But guylhelm says it's only experimental and not really usable.
Would be cool though if I could use KPhone on the z with a BT headset so I don't need the wire hanging around getting caught on stuff...

Well, this isn't a direct answer, BUT, it tells you quite a lot about making bluetooth headsets work with linux:

I tried this last week when I first saw the post - was able to connect Z to BT headset (omiz) - and heard half second bursts of the music with 10-15 second gaps in between - not very useable, but it almost worked

I suspect that you have a performance bottleneck, possibly on storage or maybe the device is paging (do you have a page file?)
The reason that Bluetooth audio is likely to be choppy when the system is overloaded is that headsets are treated in an Isochronous fashion i.e. the protocol allows detail to be dropped to maintain timely delivery of the data. In such cases the pacing of the audio transfer if interrrupted by system activity will probably resume from a later point. - maybe this is what is happing..? I can't say for certain since I haven't taken a look at the code but headset profiles usually require Isochronous comms.
