//note. in instances where you launch a game from steam. this ends up mapping the process to both steam and to the game. which is unfortunate
//The problem is that if you don't use the parent processes, then the actual steam window won't get recognized. But if you do, then games will map to steam.
//
//Additionally, I group all audio processes that match instead of just the most specific, or the first, etc. Because Discord uses two processes, one for voice chat, and one for discord sounds.
//
//Steam and Discord are both very common, and end up butting heads in the algorithm.
//And I'm not overly fond of programming in special cases
//so for the time being, the only down side i've found for including the parent process is that when you launch a game from steam and change the volume, you also change steam's volume. but that really only impacts videos on steam store pages
//The icon is also often steam's icon instead of the games'.
//But i'm striving for functional before perfection.
