Bridging eve -> socket.io -> eve

bridge-client.js

var socket = io.connect(server),
    reSock = /^sock\:.*$/i;

socket.on('connect', function() {
    eve.on('*', function() {
        // get the last argument
        var lastArg = arguments.length ? arguments[arguments.length - 1] : null;
        
        // if the last arg is a socket connection, then don't send it to the serve
        // because we got it from the server...
        if ((! lastArg) || (! reSock.test(lastArg))) {
            socket.emit.apply(socket, ['event', eve.nt()].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0)));
        } // if
    });
    
    socket.on('event', function(evtName) {
        eve.apply(eve, [evtName, DECKEM].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1)));
    });
});

bridge-server.js

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
    socket.on('event', function() {
        var emitArgs = ['event'].concat(Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 0)).concat('sock:' + socket.id);
        
        // send the event to other connected listeners
        // and add the client id to the end of the list so it can be distinguished on the client
        socket.broadcast.emit.apply(socket, emitArgs);
    });
});

Code has been ripped from two projects I'm working on:
