It sounds like you're planning to use the devinput lirc driver.  In that
case, you probably want to use the lircd.conf here:
http://linux.bytesex.org/v4l2/linux-input-layer-lircd.conf

This worked great for me with my ATI USB Remote Wonder.  At first I tried
'irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event4 lircd.conf', but the
lircd.confthat generated always doubled up button presses.  Tweaking
it didn't help
that, so I went with the generic input layer lircd.conf and everything's
happy now.
