if pulse audio keeps the audio device from power saving, it will get 
"charged" the power for the audio chip,
in addition to the power it gets "charged" for using the cpu and for 
causing wakeups.

the actual sorting is based on the total charge to the process.

for VFS you need the patch in the powertop tarbal/git repo.

for GPU, today only Intel GPUs report this; the upstream radeon guys are 
working
on providing an equivalent for their driver.

if they don't support real power management then they will show as 100%....
