I went a different direction and bought an IR keyboard and a
JP1 programmable remote (URC-8910) which was cheap at the time (around $50)
and programmed the remote to send keystrokes to the keyboard receiver.
 Since the IR keyboard shows as a keyboard to Linux, no LIRC is necessary
and the button processing is lightning fast.  Might be a little more
expensive initially but you get both an IR keyboard/mouse to use when you
need it and a universal remote that can control your entire entertainment
center as well as MythTV without LIRC
