You want xsl:copy-of instead of xsl:value-of.

In that case, use xsl:apply-templates to process the contents of $c, add an identity transformation template

  <xsl:template match="@* | node()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

and a template to match the src attribute

  <xsl:template match="@src">
    <xsl:attribute name="src">http://foo.bar.com<xsl:value-of select="."/><xsl:attribute>
  </xsl:template>

You read the XPath and XSLT specs or a good book on the subject, makes learning the language a lot easier.
