The API allows you to put a image to any drawable. xfree currently supports it for windows only, but this isn't a API limit. Capture to a pixmap and then read data with XGetImage would work in theory (unless I've missed something important). On the other hand that would'nt be very useful for anything but still images due to the overhead and API limits (you can't queue up capture requests for example).
