Hi, Jarod

I have been using lirc in kernel for a long time.

It is already there for bttv cards.

http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Remote_controllers

I do not need to use lirc-kmdl anymore. In fact, if I use it, every key I
press produces a ghost key,
which is a nightmare for changing channels in certain programs, such as
mythtv and tvtime.

I had to create my own version of lirc-devices

/etc/sysconfig/lircd

# Options to lircd
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input -d /dev/input/lirc"

/etc/udev/rules.d/lirc.rules

KERNEL=="event*",
SYSFS{modalias}=="pci:v00008086d0000244Esv00000000sd00000000bc06sc04i01",
SYMLINK+="input/lirc"

with the two files above. Of course I had also to create another remote code
file for myself.

Everything works perfectly.

Doesn't help for a lot of other IR receivers, we still need the
drivers. :)

No clue, I haven't used any cards that require using a sound card to
capture audio in a few years.

Okay, rawhide kernel 2.6.23-0.142.rc3.git10.fc8 and later now have lirc
drivers included. After some further cleanup and testing, this will hopefully
be carried over into fedora 7 and fedora core 6 kernels.

And upstream? Is there any reason Linux would not like them?

Thanks for your work!

Ah yes, working on that too. A loooong ways to go on code clean-ups before its
fully worthy just yet though -- need to silence scripts/checkpatch.pl in the
kernel source tree, which is still quite noisy right now, then do some actual
code review.

Work-in-progress:
