hooking for what purpose? if to provide remote speakers, this is possible.

to receive media content? didn't try, but the bluetooth implementation can provide all standard bluetooth destination types. so file transfer should work as well.

if you would be thinking about tuneling sound out of RPIs own HDMI or analog out, hardware and linux is able to provide this. XBMC is not (officially). beside XBMC, you can attach USB sound card (24bit 8ch 96k digital mixer) - but why, if XBMC is out of question for now.

with transmission you are right, you will need transmission-daemon. you can still get it with apt-get install transmission-daemon. but you have to configure it yourself - not that bad.
