Differentiate output of system sounds per bluetooth device

When listening to music via BT speaker I do not want to hear any system notification sounds from there as it is loud and annoying. One solution is to silence sounds. But this way I would not hear system notifications or an incoming call.

On the other hand, when using a bt-headset it would be important to hear those sounds exactly from there. So it depends on the device and its purpose if you want to hear notification sounds from there or not.

Because of that I would like to be able to differentiate per each bluetooth device where system sounds are transferred to. Either to bt-device or to phone speaker, while main sound stays with the bt-device.

Would somebody know how to change or tweak those settings by any chance?

EDIT: I just noticed that system sounds and media output are split up to internal and BT speaker when connected, respectively. So the problem of the first paragraph of the OP seems to be solved as of 2.0.0.10. Still I would like to know where to find those settings.
