I too am using LIRC.  I'm probably being too critical.  The remote does
work, but, many times it's sluggish and I end up pressing the button
too many times and I end up past where I want to be.  It's probably
as simple as not understanding how to properly setup the repeat values
in lircrc.

My biggest problem at this point is that with the lastest svn update,
anytime I hit the MENU button, I get a MENU immediately followed by 
PLAY.  When I use irw to see what's going on, I only get a MENU,
but freevo somehow does a MENU followed by play.
