Not anymore, I use a RadioShack universal remote with both my boxes, 
but I do the same linking thing. However, I don't use xine at all. 
mplayer handles all my movies much better, and I have a nice 
progressive-scan DVD player I prefer to use on the very rare occasion I 
watch a DVD (I usually just rip 'em).

Not surprising, since there aren't any xine bindings in it.

My lircrc should work out of the box with mplayer, assuming you've done 
the suggested link. As for xine, never have set up the file for it, 
since I've never used it. If someone has a full set of bindings they'd 
like me to incorporate, I'd be happy to.

Yeah, I use an external amp for volume, sorry! ;-)

I can't recall what the exact mappings are, but simply reassign VOL+ 
and - to ] and [ for myth (I think that's right) and for whatever the 
volume keys are for xine or mplayer, and it ought to work.
