I think there is a more serious problem: voice routing for bluetooth is 
not working, or is it? It is possible to connect a headset/carkit via 
bluetooth, button are working, but the voice/mic sink in alsa config is 
missing. So the "power saving" feature/problem is not the main problem 
in this setup, I think.
I tried it with two different headsets: Nolan N-COM (integrated in 
bicycle helmet) and Sennheiser VMX-200. In both cases the buttons are 
working, but no voice!

I made some investigation about the voice routing to bluetooth:

Qtmoko:
aah, sorry. There is a old patch in gta02 version. but is not working 
anylonger and I can not find it at moment, but I go on searching......

Arch linux wiki (a little bit older, too):
