Henrik,

One extra thing I would offer is that if you haven't tried already,
try running LIRC with the Hauppauge remote definitions from LIRC, as
they have a slightly different remote header (see the RC5|CONST_LENGTH
value) than the lircd.conf posted by David. I'm wondering whether this
is sufficient to cause the slow/unknown button errors as the timing
could be slightly out of sync. I noticed that David's remote has the
remote header:

=========
begin remote

name grayHauppauge
bits 13
flags RC5
eps 30
aeps 100

one 0 0
zero 0 0
gap 200966
repeat_bit 2

begin codes
=========

whereas the LIRC contrib file has header:

=========
begin remote

  name  Hauppauge_350
  bits           13
  flags RC5|CONST_LENGTH
  eps            30
  aeps          100

  one           969   811
  zero          969   811
  plead        1097
  gap          114605
  toggle_bit      2

      begin codes
=========

The Hauppauge defs are available from
http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.hauppauge?view=markup.

Also, in your lircrc file, the "repeat" option for a key allows you to
tailor the response you see when you hold down a key repeatedly - if
you have a repeat setting of 3 and hold down a button, LIRC will on
pass only everythin third button signal, which slows down how quickly
a button (such as volume) operates. This setting is also useful if
LIRC seems to respond to a 'single' button press with 2 or more
events.
