That I didn't try.  I was mainly curious about whether the PAUSE/PLAY 
behavior changed because his description of what P does now and your 
description of what SELECT does matched my memory of how it worked in 
0.21-fixes.

I will give it a try tonight (when I turn on the DLP bulb for actual TV 
watching :) and see if I can find what changed.

Yeah, it sounds like it may have been his LIRC config that changed or 
similar, based on his latest reply.
