The latest piCorePlayer version have added support to lirc.  I believe
the latest updates also help if you choose to use the FLIRC dongle (in
original implementation, the remote was overly sensitive - one push
would act as multiple key-presses).  I have had good results with a MCE
IR remote - don't recall the exact part, however.  The JiveLite accepts
keyboard inputs (e.g., "a", "b", "c", ...) which are mapped to actions
by JiveLite, such as play, fast forward, up, down, right, left, select,
etc.  You can setup a FLIRC dongle to create virtual keyboard keypresses
in response to IR keypresses.  The FLIRC dongle plugs into a USB port,
and looks to JiveLite like a keyboard.  The lirc route requires you to
install an IR receiver, connected to the GPIO of the Raspberry Pi.  I
believe the mapping is already setup in that case where it works with an
original Squeezebox or Touch IR Remote.
