The remote I use, on linux, just emulates a USB keyboard and mouse. Most of the special keys like play, pause, fast forward, etc. are hard coded to be the keyboard shortcuts for Windows Media Center. WMC and Xine share a lot of short cuts, but not all of them. For the ones that weren't the same, I just got the keycode the remote sends and remapped it to the shortcut key Xine/Freevo expects. It vary likely isn't easier, but I had never used LIRC before and have used keyboards and key mapping before. Although I am sure LIRC is nice to use, after spending a decent amount of time getting Freevo setup how I wanted it (right resolution, using nfs mounted dirs for TVs in other rooms, etc.) I got tired and just hacked up the remote with stuff I already knew and understood. It isn't something I would recommend, although if anyone has a similar remote or wants to get one, I am glad to share how I set it up if it would help out. I actually just have a Logitech Harmony emulate the cheap $7 remote and use the USB/IR that came with the remote now.
