It might be that  your distro is like mine, where the only package that reads
.lircrc from /home/mythtv/.lircrc is mythtv itself.

Everything else reads it from ~/.lircrc

I've created a link so that I only have to maintain one copy, because
I was always fixing the one in ~/mythtv/.lircrc and nothing happened
for mplayer and xmms etc till I finally slapped forehead and remembered
the duplicate copies...
