What is the proper way to do this...
 

I have a data stream that can come from a buffer of data, a socket or a
file.
What is the correct object oriented way to process this stream such as to
abstract the method from knowing where the data is comming from?

Create a stream buffer that handles the source-specific stuff and then create
an istream that uses it.

Can you give me a small example of the stream class use? If its not too
much trouble?

It is more than I care to type in right now. I suggest you get
Nick Josuttis's book: The C++ Standard Library. It covers it.
