WI: The Ottomans win the Battle of Vienna?

How could the Ottomans win the Battle of Vienna? What would the effects be if they had won?

Maybe if they succeed in bringing the walls down by managing of setting up all their mines in the tunnels, they digged below the city walls. If they enter the city earlier before the rescue coalition of the occidental forces. Another factor could be a breakup of the coalition. Maybe if the Hungarian Ottoman vassal attacked Poland and King Sobieski got an emergency call to repell the attack , he´s out of the Christian alliance ? But it is questionable if the Ottomans would have been able to overrun Western Europe.
 
I suspect a successful taking of Vienna merely draws the border further north.
One wonders whether this scuppers Austria's claims to Hungary. Perhaps Poland is more successful here?

King Sobieski personally threatened the Hungarian usurper, in case him playing foul and try to invade Poland during Sobieski´s absence (The hungarian ursurper actually intended to do so). Maybe Sobieski leads a attack on Hungary, repells the Ottomans successfully and founds something like a Polish-Magyarian Commonwealth.
