Who is using freevo. The typical freevo user is IMHO someone who is willing to undergoe the sometime very annoying troubles of a linux installation with several undocumented software elements. Most people who are doing this also tend to customize anything they use. No standard installation but personalized and much tampered with systems. These users will surely use their own type of Remote and won't order a standart freevo remote. So the better solution would be to make better documentation and to implement a small utilitie with wich freevo (or lirc) can simply learn keys from your remote by pressing buttons and pointing at your sensor. That way, anyone would be able to use his own remote without to much hassle and the process would still be easy. By the way, isn't there already a simple learning app for lirc? I am sure, a special freevo remote would not sell good enough to satisfy it's costs and the effort spent into the freevo interface would be wasted.
