Well, the first thing is to install and configure lirc according to the 
reference and get irwU(1) running. I cannot really explain this much 
more here, unless you have more specific questions. There is nothing in 
your particular case which is special to that point.

Once irw is running you have a basic lirc installation in place. You 
then need to create a lircrc file which mplayer uses to map remote 
buttons to mplayer command strings. This is basically explained in {1], 
although you need to use 'prog = mplayer'. To debug you use ircat(1)

One ircat gives the expected output, you're  done and mplayer should 
work as expected

When creating the lircrc file, lirc-config-tool(1) could possibly be 
helpful by creating a mplayer lircrc template for your remote.


Cheers!
