    I need to be able to get my audio output (Sound from Youtube/Pandora/Media Player) and stream it into Unity to then pass an FFT function to analyze the frequencies.

    You'll have to look into .net audio libraries - there's nothing built into Unity that does what you need. Try BASS.NET or NAudio. Be sure to consider platform independence if that's an issue for you.

    NAudio looks to be the best option for what I need to do. Platform wise, it only needs to work for windows so theres no problem there.
