Weird that you need to link with the Bluetooth dialogs.

You can probably default this one to autodetect (!= no) rather than disabled 
(= yes), as I assume it applies to all linux-omap boards. I don't understand 
why you extend vout_thread_t - is this a significant performance 
optimization?

Embedded platform-specific plugins are not really an issue.
The risks of affecting the desktop releases are extremely small.
