I'm not sure why you would need compression on a bluetooth stream for audio. According to my calculations a CD has an audio rate of 16 bits per sample * 44,100 samples per second which leaves a 705,600 bits per second rate. This is per channel so you have two channels for stereo which gives you a total bit rate of 1.35 Mbits per second. The bluetooth standard supports 3 Mbits per second with a practical rate of 2.1 Mbits per second. That should easily support full CD quality through headphones.
