The same way you run it now but add a -n to the list of parameters.
So for example, this is how I would start it on my machine.

'lircd -n --driver=audio_alsa'

But on yours it will probably be slightly different depending on what
driver you use.  Make sure all other lircd instances are gone.  you
can do this by doing a 'killall lircd'
