[pulseaudio-discuss] get x11.xid

[Jason Taylor]

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)?
