Window sharing instead of screen sharing, possible?

Hi all,
as you can read in the title I'm looking for a way to stream the content of a window instead of the content of all (or even a portion) of the screen...
This is already possible using videolan or do I need to code it? If not, how could I do?
Thanks in advance for answers and this incredible app
P.S. Sorry for very bad english

Not yet possible, but soon, you will be able to select a sub-part of the screen.

I'm pleased to be answered by a admin and thank you if you move the discussion in the right board, but probably i've not explayned well myself: i don't want to track a (fixed) sub-part of the screen but link the application to a moving-window so i haven't to follow it by myself...
Is it possible perhaps building a plugin or anything else?

Streaming a window given its ID would be an easy extension. But finding the ID of the window is not trivial for normal users.

Yes, and we lack windows developers IIRC

So it's possible... Where can I found something about how to code it?
