As the question already suggests,
I'm trying to figure out, if it's possible to force another Application/process to use a specific output device.
Not every Application has a dropdown menu to select which audio device should be used and therefore always uses the standard device.
But when running multiple applications this isn't always the desired solution.
Plus, even if the application has a device-selection, it's almost always buried deep within the menus.
I was thinking of something like faking the change of the standard-device (but only to one application)
Looking forward for you answers :)
Greetings

Audio Hijack Pro already does this and it works great. Rogue Amoeba are the experts at Mac OS X audio.

I am creating a MacOS application to take an audio file chosen by the user and display its sound waves in a timeline. Like the one below.
I have searched Google and Stack Overflow for a few hours and only found IOS examples. Every time I tried to take one and convert it to work with MacOS there were conflicting libraries used.
If you could provide me with some code to get started or a source/article that has information that would be great.
Thanks In Advance!
AudioKit can display waveforms using AKTableView. It is cross platform and there's an example of how to load files into one on of the framework's playgrounds, which is also shown online here:
http://audiokit.io/playgrounds/Basics/Tables/
The code is simple so even if you need to add to it, you can pull the necessary parts from AudioKit and place it in your own project, if you don't want to add all of AudioKit to your project just for this one feature.

I have written a fully functioning bash script performing a proxy switching within a Local Area Network based on relative speeds.
Can I convert this directly into a GUI application for Ubuntu? If not where should I start (I am completely new to GUI App development)?
Can this script be converted into any other language?
Yes, you need only create a "desktop" file for it, and place it in ~/.local/share/applications/.
The easiest way to do that is using MenuLibre. Incidentally, there's nothing Ubuntu-specific about this. The same trick will work with most distros.
If you want your script to have a task-bar icon, or open dialog windows, or show a desktop notification bubble, you might like to look at Zenity.
Of course you can rewrite your script in any other language you choose, but I'm not aware of an easy way to convert it automatically.

I have this application that I haven't created and I don't have the source for. But it's really handy in handling and recording the time I've used on different projects. But it has this annoying pop-up that comes up that contains a window and some debug text I believe. It wasn't done by a professional, it was just a hobby project. Everything is working even though this window appear. So I was wondering if it's possible to "hijack" a window and minimizing or closing it somehow?
Yes. You could hide the window if you have its title. There are other ways to do it, but..
The following application does a few tweaks on another window, check it out:

I was wondering it for a long time since Apple released iTunes for Windows. What did they use to write iTunes for Windows? It seems completely with its own UI components and everything is contained inside it. It even uses QuickTime resources files. Can we assume that they've Cocoa working with windows. Anyway, my main question is, is there any known (public or private) tool/language/framework used in developing iTunes for Windows?
Not a direct answer, but if the reason you're asking is that you want to port a cocoa application to Windows, you might be interested in this:

Haven't used it myself, but I gather they've got enough done to make a useable cross-platform Cocoa app.
itunes for both mac and windows are written in c++ as it is easier to port between operating systems with much or the same codebase

Hi basically I am lost in apples documentation and not sure where to start on this.
I need to record the audio from applications running on my system, similar to audio hijack and wiretap studio pro, but I am unsure where to start with the audio captuer. I see reference to quicktime capture documentation but it is not clear how to acheive what I require.
Ideally I want to be able to modify audio in/out from an application such as skype to record and manipulate (think novelty voice effects).
Any pointers where in the documentation I can look, or how to start with this?
I think you should take a look at the Jack OS X source.
It has a CoreAudio user space driver that allows you to send any application's sound output to Jack OS X and support for audio plugins.
