You'd need to have some flooring and ceiling (bare joists never really seem appealing), so there goes even the 6'10" you have now. There's no way you'd be approved.

Perhaps the OP doesn't mind exposed joists or minds them less than no theater room. Assuming 2 x 8 joists the OP could have 3 1/2" sound insulation under sheetrock and partially exposed beams. At least according to the code escanlon copied.
The bathroom is another matter. Under that code the ceiling isn't an issue - the first thing to find out is the floor drain connected to the sewer or drain directly to the yard or a dry well.
