Franco, my research last night shows xine and mplayer use different .lircrc
files.  Xine as far as I can tell is hard coded to ~/.lircrc (although I
can't get it working yet).  mplayer allows you to specify -lircconf so I
start mplayer like this:
mplayer -lircconf ~/.mythtv/lirc-mplayer (and that actually works).

I edited my lirc-mplayer according to what I found by google searching and
it works.  Xine is another story.  Still working on it.
