Monitor X output of a program

I have a program running in fullscreen via Bumblebee, as far as I understood that means it is actually running on another X server that gets spawned by the bumblebee demon.
I want to monitor a certain part of its screen for visual changes, like taking a partial screen shot every second.
Also, this program is running in the background, while I do other stuff meanwhile on the non-accelerated X server (ie I start the program via primusrun, then switch workspaces, which as far as I understood will also switch X servers back from the one dedicated to just the 3d-accelerated full screen program to the normal one that got started by the login manager).

Re: Monitor X output of a program

Anyone maybe know how to make it at least continue outputting audio? When it's in the background, no more audio from the application will be output. I'm using pure ALSA.
