The WinampRemote looks like it could be cool, but I have a two questions
(hoping someone has some answers!):

1.  What's the signal distance.  Is it greater than 10 feet?
2.  Can LIRC talk to two serial ports (ie: can I have the WinampRemote on
one serial port for receiving, and the ACTiSYS on another port for
transmitting)?

I STILL don't have a answer on a good receiver/transmitter combo that will
work for distances over 10 feet.
