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.
