I've worked around this by using xlib to grab the pid of the window application and that seems to work.. No applications seem to set xid yet that I can see (banshee, rythembox, vlc, mplayer, totem etc) For my next trick.... pa_stream_peek seems to scale the data down by the sinks volume level... is there a way to get the data "unscaled" (excuse my misuse of the terminology)?

And most applications simply don't. One of the problems here is that Gstreamer doesn't really have an API to attach a stream to a window. Would be good if it had. Sound events generated from libcanberra do set this property in most cases.
