There is no API for this as the plugins used in maemo usually call
osso_initialize themselves. Once your plugin is added to the home area
you could access the osso_context_t used by home with

window = gtk_widget_get_toplevel (your_applet);
g_object_get (window,
              "osso-context", &osso_context,
              NULL);

but it's a bit hackish.
