Sadly it looks like root is required for this. Maybe an addition to install script that mentions or prompts for edit to pi's /boot/config.txt to add dtoverlay=pi3-disable-wifi? (Any ifconfig up or down will require root so unless script wants to be run as root this is only feasible option I see)

Edit: This likely only affects Pi 3 and maybe current Pis. It's in raspian master boot firmware as a flag. Maybe other routes for Pi Zero or earlier Pis? Running raspi-config interactively on any should let you disable wifi though, maybe just better to put a warning on install like "bt-speaker installed. If you notice wifi causing disconnects, please run raspi-config to disable wifi." Other route is editing bt-speaker user for those permissions with similar passwd edits:
bt-speaker ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/ifup wlan0, /sbin/ifdown wlan0

on my pi I do something like:
btspeaker ALL = (ALL) NOPASSWD: /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/connect, /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/disconnect
... it works well for me but it is not ideal

i have just applied this :

root# visudo
add under # User privilege specification , after root line :
btspeaker ALL=(root) NOPASSWD :/sbin/ifconfig *

and then in /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/connect
it's :
sudo ifconfig wlan0 down

in /etc/bt_speaker/hooks/disconnect
it's :
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

thanks for this great project, too bad even with raspberry 3b, wifi and bluetooth are still not friends.
