I'm in the process of implementing this sort of thing - though not using
the socket paradigm. My application is IrDA related and I face some of the
same issues as your's. What I'm doing is placing the IrDA code into a
'system library' which the application can open and close like it would
any other system library. When the IrDA callbacks are invoked (e.g.
IrIASCallBack) I'll stuff an event into the queue of the 'foreground'
application (when it's appropriate, of course).
