I haven't personally played with LIRC, but if those devices behave just like a normal evdev device, then using that directly and dropping LIRC seems very elegant to me. Yay for consolidation and dropping special case daemons. :-) Did you actually try to patch rhythmbox, totem, or another app to recognize those keycodes? I'd like to see what upstream says to that proposal. In fact, maybe it can be made even more general by making the GTK stock buttons for play/pause/etc. recognize those keys? Then all GTK apps would work with that immediately.
