Ahha.  Very interesting.

I wrote something about this a few hours ago to the myth developers
list.  http://mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-dev/2006-October/051233.html
Based on information from you and further consideration, I'm about to
add more.

Please join me there with your insights.  I don't know the correct
venue (suggestions welcome), but I think the issues go beyond atrpms.

Yes!

Duh.  I ignorantly misconstrued the daemon function.  Thanks for the
correction.

| True.

Where does it come from?  Is its home atrpms?  Does it make sense to
push it upstream to the lirc project?

Thanks for your quick and informative response.
