If you system have pulseaudio installed and it support of bluez, you can 
use kmix hidden functionality: you can click on kmix icon, open mixer (i 
don't know how it is in English), open playback tab (not a playback 
devices) and .......... right click on stream you want to play using 
bluetooth... You also can set in KDE sound settings (phonon settings) 
priority of devices. If you set bluetooth headset first then the sound 
will go to bluetooth automatically when it is connected.

For example, some images:

1. kmix can show available devices (and bluetooth too):

2. you can switch devices for each streams:

3. you can change devices priorities in phonon settings:
