pthread_self will give you this for any thread on the system
(ultimately all of the threads on X go down to this) - in the SDK
there's some code that shows how to use these API (both million monkees
and PlayAudioFile)

Andrew,
Thanks for this instructive reply. At this point I do not use threads
and do all in my callback. Therefore I once in a while get minor
audio "stalls", probably caused by a blocking file io call. For me,
using NSThread would be very easy and convenient. But by default an
NSThread has not high enough priority. Is there an easy way to change
the priority when using NSThread?
I believe you should be able to get the underlying pthread identifier
from the NSThread (though I'll confess I'm not familiar with that
class, I'm mostly a C++ person) from their you can set the priority
using the mach thread API's - there's examples of how to do this in
the Million Monkeys source and in Bills WWDC presentation.
