The bluetooth modules I deal with have pins which are used to synchronize the 
RF parts with 802.11 systems in order to facilitate playing nicely.  (kind of 
an external CSMA/CD or CSMA/CA interface.) I'm not saying it is 100% 
effective, but I don't think that two 64kbps (+overhead) streams are going to 
have THAT much trouble competing over a (theoretical but achievable) 11Mbps 
link.
