It shouldn't be too hard to fix if you want to try, either; check client->ignoreCount > 0 when handling X_NOTIFY_ERROR before calling CloseDownClient.

Yes! It annoys me when a scene with characters shouting is much louder than a scene where characters are talking with hushed voices, as an example. We know a shout was louder at the source, but the decibel level at our ears is proportional to 1/distance squared, meaning hushed voices aren't necessarily any quieter "in real life". I'd prefer suspenseful and dramatic scenes both play at similar, comfortable levels. I d…
I'm watching a tv show, and while I'm sure a crying baby is appealing to a parent to the point they'll run at it, I'm now sufficiently annoyed that I'm just skipping past the crying baby storyline.

What you're describing is called dynamic range compression, and mpv can be configured to do this in multiple ways. Back in the physical media days, it was pretty common for DVD/Bluray players to include this feature. Unfortunately it's not something that streaming app developers thought twice about. Your TV or streaming box also may or may not have the feature.
I will definitely look into eBPF and uprobe mentioned in the article, I don't know about them. But wouldn't something like XNest (or XWayland?) help with debugging X? You'd debug an X server running in a window comfortably from your real environment and display server without it being disrupted by the debugging session.
EDIT: Downvote but don't respond. Even sillier!
Picom has an awesome feature [0] that, for the sake of all our eyes, should come by default on every device with a screen. It can continuously adjust the brightness of individual windows by averaging all the pixels in that window. It's great for defending against "flashbangs" (when a new tab burns your eyes with a blank white screen). 0: https://github.com/yshui/picom/blob/ae73f45ad9e313091cdf720d...
Interesting feature! Wish I had that option on my devices, combined also with something similar for sounds.
I haven't tried it for music, but for videos it works pretty well.
There are a lot of WMs who offer a window list (twm, fvwm). Maybe the guy shall take a look how they do it.
And requests to the X server are not syncroneus.
I don’t understand why mention he was using .NET with Wine if not going to tell us why. Just silly EDIT: Downvote but don't respond. Even sillier!

Poor audio systems are also to blame for this You want a 3.1 system (at least) and increase the center channel
It is absolutely possible and honestly standard fare to have properly balanced audio playing on the $1 tin cans found in TVs and laptops.
