Details

The package included lirc.service does run without error, but when used with the streamzap remote (http://www.streamzap.com/consumer/pc_remote/index.php) doesn't pass commands to apps such as xbmc. If I start lirc with the attached service file, the remote functions as expected in xbmc. I do not know how general this is, but I have verified it to be true on several different machines using this remote.

I have attached three extra files to allow for someone else to verify this bug:
* 90-streamzap.conf - Required to disable the xinput device created by the kernel. It should be placed in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d
* lircd.conf - Preconfigured for this remote. It should be placed in /etc/lirc
* Lircmap.xml - XBMC requires this to translate button pushes on the remote to events. It should be placed in ~/.xbmc/userdata

Additional info:
* package version(s) extra/lirc-utils 1:0.9.0-65

Steps to reproduce:
1) Plug in the remote.
2) Place the attached 3 files where directed and make sure that you restart X to allow the 90-streamzap.conf to be active.
3) Start the package lirc.service.
4) Launch xbmc and try to use the remote.

If you use my-lirc.serivce for step 3, it works as expected.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  0.9.1-1 uses systemd units from upstream.

I can also verify the same behavior when using mplayer so there is no need for xbmc to reproduce.

0.9.1-1 is going to use the systemd unit files provided by upstream.
