Is the StreamZap IR receiver supported by lirc? That would be cool. I
thought from reading the lirc FAQ that USB IR receivers were not
supported?

No, it's technically not possible to use USB IrDA dongles with LIRC.
In a related question I have a Logitech IR receiver that goes with my
wireless keyboard. Can a single receiver like that work for both a
remote and a keyboard at the same time?
Thanks,
