[Joseph Flack]

Unfortunately this configuration still does not work in testing.  See below.

The output for ls /var/run/lirc/  does not show lircd1

So, it doesn't look like pointing to lircd1  works either.
--------------------------------------
# irsend -d /var/run/lirc/lircd1 LIST "" ""
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: No such file or directory

Thinking perhaps I need to reverse them I get a nothing.

# irsend -d /var/run/lirc/lircd LIST "" ""
# 

Hmm

Other stuff is still working.
# lsmod | grep lirc
lirc_serial             9905  0 
lirc_mceusb            16308  0 
lirc_dev               12221  2 lirc_serial,lirc_mceusb

A mystery as to why /var/run/lirc/lircd1 is not creating.  Where does no create it?
