Just a quick note, grepping the kernel source I find "ir_tx_z8f0811_haup" is 
the driver and it looks like it's defined within your sources.  I also find 
further reference to this driver within kernel sources
"linux/drivers/staging/lirc/lirc_zilog.c"

Anyways, my MPlayer input.conf recognizes forward/backward seek buttons, but am 
stumped how to configure any of the other buttons of the remote.  Although "cat 
/dev/input/event7" shows button activity, am wondering if I need the userspace 
programs from lirc (ie. irw, etc) to configure the buttons further or to be 
able to understand what button names are being sent OR if there is something 
I'm overlooking
