We don't use lircd, but eventlircd, because eventlircd has not to wait until the remote devices are ready, so the vdr don't need to wait for them too. Many current dvb tuners need long time to get ready, sometimes because usb enumeration happens late, or firmware has to be loaded. For this Lars has invented the dynamite plugin that collects tuners when they are ready and gives them to the vdr. Other distributions have to wait with the vdr start till the last dvb tuner is ready. We don't wait for any of them. The vdr will show a picture when the first tuner comes ready. Of course it is very hardware related, but 10 seconds from bios post till live tv is possible. We had even some customized setups that did it in 6 seconds.

Another case where one would want to use that way to start softhddevice is to be able to leave VDR running even when detaching softhddevice output to switch to xbmc/kodi or anything else, to be able to let VDR do recordings if necessary, or quickly switch back (of course, on a HTPC setup all from the remote control).

I'll try this out. Hopefully a sequence of SUSP and RESU after a > freeze will wake it up! :-) As an alternative you can start softhddevice in detched mode (-D) and use the commands DETA/ATTA. At yavdr we use this feature to start X and vdr in parallel and attach softhddevice when X is ready. And you can restart X when softhddevice is detached. Difference: if softhddevice is suspended a keypress can resume it automatically. And if X isn't ready at this point you'll get an error (as far as I know).
