First I see:

lirc_dev: no version for "struct_module" found: kernel tainted.
lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 
lirc_streamzap[-1]: Streamzap, Inc. Streamzap Remote Control on usb3:3

lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0
usbcore: registered new driver lirc_streamzap
lirc_streamzap $Revision: 1.12 $ registered

But later I see:


usb_unlink_urb() is deprecated for synchronous unlinks.  Use B()
instead.

# ls -l /dev/lirc*
crw-------  1 root root 61, 0 Sep  5 12:56 /dev/lirc0
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root     0 Sep  5 19:41 /dev/lircd

I run "lircd -d /dev/lirc0" followed by "irw" that produces no output.

On the other hand, if I run "irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 /tmp/out", then I do
get a response from irrecord, which suggests there is a problem with
my /etc/lircd.conf file. The file I'm using is the one I got from
lirc.org though:

# this config file was automatically generated
# using lirc-0.7.1-CVS(serial) on Fri Feb  4 23:20:56 2005
#
# contributed by Christoph Bartelmus
#
# brand:                       Streamzap
# model no. of remote control: PC Remote
# devices being controlled by this remote: USB receiver

Since  would appear that Chris s one of the main developers for lirc, I
would presume this file has been well tested with a Streamzap remote and
this module. From that, my best guess is that I've got a new style
remote, that needs it's own lircd.conf file.
 
To that end, I tried running "irrecord" to produce a lircd.conf file.
When I did that, and then ran "irw", every button showed up as the first
one declared ("OK" in this case). I will need to play with irrecord more
before I make any conclusions, but it's clear that the stock lircd.conf
file does not work with my remote.
