Do you have any experience using micro-controllers? The advice I got
from Pascal (designer of PC Engines boards) was to you a small microc
ontroller connected to the TTL com port todo the IR decoding.

A little Googling and I found this: http://www.foxharp.boston.ma.us/avrlirc/

I am going to got this route since I don't want anything on my USB
competing with my USB DAC. Also, no recompiling of modules every time
a new kernel comes out.

I just recently ordered a 20 pin ZIF to program the ATTiny 2313. Might
be a while to get the project completed.
