I'm not sure about HANDLE, but a socket is just an int in unix.  In my
own code, I usually just #define SOCKET int, if it's not defined
already.

As for source code, have a look at the freeamp project (just google for
freeamp).  It's a cross-platform mp3 player, so it has a broad sample of
code, including UI, sockets, http, streaming, threads, etc.

HTH,
