Thanks Radek, I tried it again,

as soon as I connect to headset by using "A2DP"- profile and setting 
bluetooth as default output device, this file is created:
------------------------------------
root at snrgta04:/home/root# cat .asoundrc
# /org/bluez/1857/hci0/dev_C8_8B_47_01_xx_xx
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "bluetooth"
}

ctl.mixer0 {
    type hw
    card 0
}

pcm.bluetooth {
        type bluetooth
        device "C8_8B_47_01_xx_xx"
        profile "auto"
}

------------------------------------
Seems to be ok, except the underscores instead of ":" in bluetooth 
address. Not sure, if does matter?

Then I tried mplayer again and with ". /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env" before 
mplayer command it is playing now. But I can not hear anything. If I 
start mplayer without "device"- option, the speaker is playing the song! 
So which control in alsamixer is associated with my headset? I treid to 
mute/unmute and raise volume in alsamixer with every control slider, 
without sound out of my headset.

Result: Silence! Sorry!

What type of bluetooth device did You use for testing? Speaker or 
headset (with/without mic)?
