using a bluetooth headset

hi everybody,
I'm trying to use a Motorola bluetooth headset, and the only programs for
which it works are Skype and aplay.
The pairing worked perfectly with blueman-manager.
Skype uses the alsa config file .asoundrc, and aplay needs the
-D bluetooth flag.
Impossible to make it to work with any other program (vlc, rhytmbox,
xine, totem, ...)
I tried several tricks found in several forums, but none worked.
Had anybody a better result?
PS: My OS is Debian/Squeeze.

best regards,
