Nope.

Palm didn't incorporate any audio BT profiles. No doubt it would be
possible to add, if someone was to write the appropriate BT stack profiles.

My observations and comments:

As the Palm Tungsten T3 was primarily designed to be a PDA(A *data*
device), and NOT an MP3-player or whatever. Palm probably decided that
*data* only BT profiles would be enough for most people.

Things like mobile-phones do support BT *audio* profiles however, and
would be a bit stupid if they didn't.
