I have solved the problem: I have to switch the bluetooth audio device's
"card profile". I have done this in a script myvlc, this script:
-switches to stereo mode and set this device the default
-calls vlc
-switches to headset mode and sets these devices to defaults
I have done the switches using pacmd commands.
