I already included the LIRC patch by Christoph Martin in the last 
CVS version. Since LIRC is well established and automatically 
provides control for many other Linux applications, a solution
specific to the DVB API is not such a good idea. 

But your patch is better in some other aspects (e.g. buffering of
events). Maybe the two patches can be combined without too much work.
