Hi Zheng Huan,

The Helix and RealPlayer nightly build supports ALSA. ALSA
supports Blue 
Tooth.

 From Tools Menu/Preferences/Hardware/Audio driver:/ALSA/PCM
Device:
Enter a2dpd should do it.

The nightly build is available here:

Yes. The players support most Multichannel audio format.

If you need to change the ALSA device for the multichannel
audio (I 
suppose this is rare), the player exposes the UI to change
5.1 
multichannel audio device only.
