[mythtv] Help on changing mythsetup

Hi,

  I've come up with a patch to MythTV that changes channels, with an
external changer (lirc), much faster than the default setup. It talks
directly to lirc it self; while at the same time reseting and unpausing
the ring buffer - and doesnt go through an external script. The problem
arrises about configuring it though - you need to set the remote control
out of the /etc/lircd.conf, the device file (for more than one lircd
daemon), and a couple of other user definablable settings. I have no
idea where to start with the configuration, but I know from my setup -
this patch is well worth it, goes from 3+ seconds to change channels to
<1 second. 

TIA,
Curtis
