There's also libsoup which although it's meant for HTTP stuff there's
also an Socket class:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libsoup/stable/SoupSocket.html

It's going to be on the next GNOME release.

And GIO which will be included in the next GLib's release.
Documentation is not online AFAIK.

Best regards.
