That link is out of date/no longer the way to do things. ;) 

Instead take a look at: 

http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/HOWTO/AudioDevices

Basically you should just need to populate your ~/.asoundrc with your
headsets bluetooth address and it should work. 

Sadly, here I get the "sco packet for unknown connection" error, which
is apparently a kernel issue with encrypted/non encrypted
connections. ;( 

Hope that helps, and please let us know how it goes.
