Perhaps, but it's already working. :-)

Sorry, but this is wrong (with the haupauge remote control, at least).
I am absolutely sure about this, see the following excerpt from 
/var/log/messages (note the timestanmps):

hold down the key '1':
| Sep 25 13:24:36 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq 8 4
| Sep 25 13:24:36 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq 08
| Sep 25 13:24:36 orion kernel: dvb: ircommand = 80000001
| Sep 25 13:24:36 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq exit 0
release the key '1':
| Sep 25 13:24:42 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq 8 4
| Sep 25 13:24:42 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq 08
| Sep 25 13:24:42 orion kernel: dvb: ircommand = 00000001
| Sep 25 13:24:42 orion kernel: GPIO0 irq exit 0
