Yes, you can make Bluetooth work in 4.0. However, AFAIK it won’t be secure to use it for audio, because PulseAudio is not isolated from dom0. I don’t know the technical details, I have only read the link I provided. One more link:

AudioVM outside of dom0

C: other P: major T: enhancement release notes

Currently, PulseAudio is running in the VMs and passing all the audio data over …the network to a PulseAudio instance running on dom0. However, this provides an unnecessary possibility for attacks on dom0, perhaps even between domU instances. I believe that a similar set-up to NetVM can be equally powerful without providing this possibility for an attack. I must say, this works very beautifully and is very user friendly. I've had Linux distros running on bare metal work less well out of the box with audio.
