Thanks
Something like SDL might be what you''re looking for.

For all the windowing stuff and input you can use the GLUT. It''s availible for Linux, Windows and Mac.
For sound you could use the OpenAl. It''s a sound library in OpenGl style, which supports 3D sound. But It''s still under development (maybe it has already changed).

FMOD is a great free (for non-commercial) sound library. This is the best, what I ever saw. Supports MP3, MOD, S3M,... 3D sound effects, EAX, A3D,... It has easy-to-use, great API.

Use OpenAL for audio (u get it at Creative''s web site), Glut for windowing/keyboard/mouse. If you want to cross-platform networking try HawkNL. I don''t beleive HawkNL is really cross-platform right now but it will in future versions (if someone has the time to port it).
