If I want to replace the serial cable from my laptop to the SSC-32, can I use the Bluetooth USB Module Mini (RB-Spa-335 from RobotShop) on the laptop and then connect the Bluetooth Modem - BlueSMiRF Silver (RB-Spa-588) the the RX/TX pins on the SSC-32? Then, are communications via a COM port on the laptop , just like the serial interface (I use a USB to Serial connector from Lynxmotion)? So that I don’t have to rewrite the communications in my code. Will this also support two way communications, because I read from the analog input?

By the way, any suggestions on wireless transmission of audio (stereo)?
Yes it should be possible.
You will need to connect your MEGA to the PC and connect whatever wireless module to the MEGA’s Serial 1,2, or 3. Not to Serial 0. Because the the USB will be using Serial 0.
If you try to draw 180mA from an onboard I/O pin (which can supply only about 40mA each), you risk frying the board. You need to ensure the power to that BT unit does not come from the ATMega chip but from another power supply. Not sure where the Arduino MEGA came into this?
My apologies - I meant to write I/O pin (corrected in the reply) - the regulator itself can supply about 1.5A, but that is used to power the microcontroller and all the I/O pins etc.
Bluetooth allows users to connect to a wide range of devices at one time without cables, and potentially without actively initiating the connection. Bluetooth uses a flexible,multiple piconet structure for communication. It supports both point-to-point and multipoint connections for full-duplex networks.
