Ah, good to know.  I may yet try to train a learning remote to send
the
same signals as the dinky Hauppauge remote; I'll report back to the
class
if I get anywhere, and especially if I can get more distinct signals
through it...

Adam, I have done this, although with my Avermedia remote and a RS
15-1994 learning remote. Since the 15-1994 has a lot more buttons
than
the Avermedia one, this is what I did:

1. Have the 15-1994 learn the buttons from my Avermedia remote.

2. For the other buttons, find some (3-digit for mine) codes not used
by the Avermedia remote (program a code into the 15-1994, if it
doesn't work with current lircd.conf, then the code is new). 

3. Have irrecord capture the new code, then append that button (you
pick a name) and its code onto my lircd.conf.

4. Test new button with irw.

5. Edit my lircrc file, so the new button does whatever it's supposed
to do.

This is in a nutshell, but what I am trying to say is that what you
want to accomplish is very doable. I even built a homemade serial
receiver, and the RS 15-1994 works there as well, even the codes are
the same.

I also used http://www.hifi-remote.com/ofa/ quite a bit to get some
valuable info.
