Hika,

I think you're having Daryl looking for the wrong devices (in
/dev/input/XXX). I think you need to focus on the /dev/lirc0 and /dev/lirc1
and the associated lircd configuration. It would seem that the analog card
triggers the creation of /dev/lirc0, which bumps up the serial device Daryl
was using to /dev/lirc1. So you need to come up with a udev rule to create
a symlink for the device which is connected to /dev/lirc1 and then use that
symlink name in the command for the lircd daemon.
