[lirc] irexec seems to ignore the repeat = 0 parameter

[Jonathan S. <jon...@gm...>]

Hello list,

I have set up lirc using a homebrew serial LIRC receiver.
Everything seems to work ok, the kernel module loads, lircd starts and
with irw i get an output like this:

000000381e3f807f 00 one RC-ZAT04
000000381e3f807f 00 one RC-ZAT04
000000381e3f40bf 00 two RC-ZAT04
000000381e3f40bf 00 two RC-ZAT04
000000381e3fc03f 00 three RC-ZAT04
000000381e3f20df 00 four RC-ZAT04
000000381e3f20df 00 four RC-ZAT04
000000381e3fa05f 00 five RC-ZAT04

In the majority of cases the signal is transmitted twice.
Normally irexec should ignore repeated keys.
http://lirc.org/html/configure.html#lircrc_format tells me that this is
the default behaviour so it should not be necessary to set it. If i use
a .lircrc like this

begin
    button = pause
    prog = mplayer
    config = pause
end

OR like this

begin
    repeat = 0
    button = pause
    prog = mplayer
    config = pause
end

i should be able to pause mplayer.
This actually works but irexec is ignoring the repeat parameter which
results in a split second pause.
I don't know what you need to know about my setup so i just give you
some information that might be useful.

I'd really appreciate any help.
English is not my native language so i'd like to apologize for my
grammar and spelling mistakes.
