Re: Is irsend supported with devinput?

Alec,

Ok - got it.
This effectively excludes very effective setup where all IR subsystem
configuration for receiving and sending will be minimized to practically
zero effort (assuming IR controlled application uses key name space
conformant with linux input.h).

Sad.

Solution You proposed removes main goal I want to achieve: zero
configuration for IR in MiniMyth2. (as user will still need to provide
correct lircd.conf I assume).

I had another idea:
-use devinput for receiving (lircd with devinput driver + lircd.conf
generated from linux.h)
-use default driver for sending

Both lircd instances are using different sockets, protocols (RC6 and LIRC)
and inputs (inputX and lirc0).

I was able to get this running but it is not working due following issue:

any usage irsend turnoff RC6 protocol - so receiving stops working.
Manual enabling RC6 brings back receiving  - and again - any usage irsend
turnoffs again RC6 protocol.

It looks like usage of default driver automatically turnoffs any other
protocols than LIRC
Is this behavior expected?

If there will be way to disable this other-than-LIRC protocol turningoff -
then maybe solution I'm proposing will offer final goal (IR zero config)
