Ari: OK last question for sanities sake. Is there a usecase for this IR device outside of LIRC? Does it act like normal key presses otherwise? Reason I ask is because lirc gets installed by default on all mythbuntu installs and can't be removed without breaking a lot of other stuff. Do you see it as possible that someone would want to be using a media centre without LIRC but native support on these devices.
