xmame absolutely works with LIRC, but it's pretty counterintuitive.
The config string isn't the name of the key, it's a "key code" which I
believe is specific to xmame. You need to plug in the key code from
src/unix/keycodes.h in the xmame sources. Here's an excerpt from my
.lircrc for xmame. 1 == Esc
begin
prog = xmame
button = Back/Exit
config = 1
end
Good luck,
