Yes, you have to call ext_bind() before you can use the socket. ext_bind()
uses the sctplib call sctp_registerInstance to create a new instance. The
ext_socket() call only allocates a socket descriptor. INADDR_ANY is not yet
implemented. Therefore, you have to specify the address and port number. This
will be improved in one of the next releases.

The current release returns negative error numbers from errno.h in case of an
error. The next release will return -1 and the error in the variable "errno",
as the system's socket calls do.

The next release will be out soon, I expect it within 2 or 3 weeks. This
release will include ext_select() and ext_poll(). Further, it will almost
completely implement the functionality from the socket API draft.
