When I didn't had lirc running using the input device, some Gnome thingie seemed to react on key presses, so that the volume could be adjusted. With the hiddev, this won't work anymore, but I think that this was just generic functionality because the appleir driver generated the proper key events for volume adjustments, so nothing specific to the Apple IR.
