[mythtv-users] Remote stops working for 1-3 minutes

Problem: My remote will stop working for 1-3 minutes at random,
without any changes (no re-starting any services, re-loading
of modules, etc.) it will start working again
Steps to Reproduce: Use MythTV, every once in a while, get up
off ass and use the keyboard, since remote will stop working.
System Info:
Myth Version: 0.17 (Official gentoo ebuild)
LIRC Version: 0.7.0-r1 (gentoo ebuild)
/etc/lircd.conf attached
~/.lircrc symlinked to ~/.mythtv/lircrc attached
I've been waiting to see if I can pinpoint my problem, but I can't, so I'm
finally posting and hoping somebody can help me. I have a crappy PacBell IR
receiver, but it works fine with my TiVo remote. Every once in a while, my
remote will stop working for 1-3 minutes. I cannot pinpoint whether it is a
problem with the IR receiver, the software, or what. I can tell it is not
myth, because the remote will sometimes stop working for a couple minutes
when mplayer is up. I don't think it is the receiver, because when it IS
working, it works with EVERY keypress... i never have to keep trying or
anything. When it does NOT work, it simply does not work at all, nothing
comes up with irw, or anything. I run gentoo, and use the official .17
ebuild. Everything else seems to be running well, but I just cannot figure
this out. I have looked through all my logs, but cannot find anything
relavant. I can't see any correlation with CPU load/lag or anything like
that, although it seems that when mythcommflag starts, it happens a little
bit more frequently. It can't be tied directly with the CPU usage though,
because it does not seem any more regular when running transcode.
If anybody has any suggestions as to figuring this out, or even possible
solutions, I look forward to your reply! Thank you very much, and if you
need anything like logs, or settings posted, let me know!
Thanks,
