and it's cheap. A recent kernel should support it and once plugged in a
usb port, udev will create the device /dev/ttyUSB0.

You'd have to be careful with this, see below:
-- LIRC FAQ <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.lirc.org/faq.html">http://www.lirc.org/faq.html</a> --
5. Can I use a home-brew LIRC receiver with a Serial to USB adapter?
No, this won't work. But there is a project working on a dedicated USB
transceiver. Using an Irman with USB adapter should work though.---

Looks like you're right. But I'm a little surprise since this is
something the kernel handles. I don't see how only certain things can
work with a USB/RS232 adapeter and others like lirc can't. I've never
used lirc, but if you're able to change the serial port from ttyS0 to
ttyUSB0, I don't understand how it wouldn't work.<br>
