Difference is that inputlirc forwards key codes to lirc clients, so
you need irexec (from lirc package) to execute command on button
press. My solution has ability to execute command without using lirc
(command is defined in esekeyd.conf). On the other hand esekeyd cannot
forward keys to lirc clients.

Sounds like it does something similar as inputlirc (for which I'm both upstream
and Debian maintainer), or does it do something else?

It is mapped to my blog. But more information about this program is
provided by freshmeat.net.

page, the homepage is: http://www.burghardt.pl/wiki/software/esekeyd

ESE Key Daemon is a multimedia keyboard daemon for Linux.  With the 2.6 kernel
series it can also handle remote controls, as they are presented as keyboards.
No kernel patch is required. It is a userspace program that pools
/dev/input/event? interfaces for incoming keyboard key presses.
