I have already agreed to implement this in lircd. The reason why I didn't until now is that there never was any reguest for such a feature from real users of LIRC. This is often suggested by people from an architectural viewpoint, because it's nice to have a unified interface through the input layer. But if you start using LIRC you usually realise quite fast that simple key events are not enough to build a remote controlled home entertainment system for example. But if enough people want this feature, it will be in the next release. Christoph
