By "remote control" I assume you via another program, since you mentioned a
FIFO, rather than actual infra-red remote control, which is currently
possible using LIRC?
If you took a look at the source code to irxevent (part of the LIRC
distribution), you could probably adapt it to send keystrokes to Myth using
a pipe instead of the /dev/lirc device.
My advice would be to:
(a) wait for (or better yet help with) the proposed new
user-action/configurable keybinding architecture (currently in the "we're
giving it serious thought" stage)
(b) adapt irxevent
(c) develop a patch yourself, being mindful that the new configurable
keybinding/user action architecture may break it
