Yes - it's actually quite easy.

You can call C functions from C++ by prefixing
	extern "C"
to the function definitions that your C++ code sees.  See, for 
example, the bottom of "groupsock/include/GroupsockHelper.hh".

You can also call C++ functions (regular functions; not member 
functions) from C by prefixing
	extern "C"
to their C++ implementations.  See, for example, the bottom of 
"liveMedia/RTCP.cpp".
