How to get sound from other apps? [modified]

[mk_4]

Hello, I'm wondering if it's possible to get sound which other apps are playing for example from music or movie player. If it is then how to do this? Edit: I've probably found a solution, but didn't check if it works. VAC - Virtual Audio Cable. It installs virtual sound card in system so we can play all of our sounds into it and then retrive it through Java Sound API with TargetDataLine. It's platform dependent, but it's always an option. There is also StereoMix available in some sound cards and I think it's worth of notice. On linux it's probably possible to achieve it with JACK.
