Why would you need irexevent to control myth? Myth supports lirc 
natively (see ~/.mythtv/lircrc):
begin
  prog = mythtv
  button = pause
  config = P
end

This could be a problem with the repetition rate of the remote button. 
Add a repeat = x (where x is a positive integer) line to tell lirc it 
should only use every x'th repetition, as such
begin
  prog = mythtv
  button = pause
  repeat = 3
  config = P
end
