Jean-Yves,

Thanks for the tip - that helped me get a little further along the path. 
Unfortunately it appears as though the Soundgraph device I have is a new model 
with a different ID than expected - 15c2:0036 instead of 15c2:ffdc and as such 
the driver isn't recognising it at all.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Cheers,
David

Talking from my experience with lirc.
I do not have a /dev/lirc device.
The IR port shows on my DVB-T card and appears as /dev/input/eventX

I have three DVB-T cards in my HTPC, so the X in the /dev/input/eventX
keeps changing. As such I have created a udev entry in
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules with
ID=="input*", BUS=="input", SYSFS{name}=="cx88 IR (digitalnow DNTV
Live! ", SYMLINK+="irremote"

as the DVB-T card I want to use is a CX88 card. This will create a
/dev/irremote as a link to the proper /dev/input/eventX. Making it
easier for future usage.

Then I've configured lirc in /etc/sysconfig/lirc as:
LIRCD_OPTIONS="-H dev/input -d /dev/irremote"

# If "yes", the init script will try to start lircmd(8) too.
ENABLE_LIRCMD="no"

# Options to lircmd(8).
LIRCMD_OPTIONS=""

And I'm running the lircd process at boot time.

This works well in my case.

I suspect that your IR port just shows up as a /dev/input/event entry
just the same.

Look in the dmesg.
All my DVB-T adapters have an IR interface.
You see message like this in dmesg:

input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input2
...
input: cx88 IR (digitalnow DNTV Live!  as /class/input/input3
...
input: IR-receiver inside an USB DVB receiver as /class/input/input4

If that's the case, you will need to run lircd like I did and modify
the /etc/sysconfig/lirc configuration accordingly.

The /etc/lircd.conf is only used to match a code name to an IR signal,
it doesn't define in anyway how the IR port is configured or where to
find it.

Jean-Yves
