I am assuming you have not yet bought this device. But if you have, the 
first thing is to find out if there is an alsa driver for it. This page 
seems to indicate that there is work in this direction but that it is not 
complete:
http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/
The fact that pulse has it's own BT IF would also indicate to me that 
there is no stable ALSA implementation.

So while it may work ok in pulse... lowlatency would be a problem (a pulse 
thing) it looks like not with ALSA (Jackd depends on ALSA unless there is 
a bluetooth backend for jackd - none that I am aware of)

So it looks like Bluetooth audio is not an option for low latency work.
