This doesn't match my experience.  I just plugged a USB DVB adapter
into my Fedora laptop and it created both a /dev/lirc0 and
a /dev/input/eventXX entry.  I'me not sure it matters much, since I
don't refer to the /dev/ entry at all in my lirc config.

I don't know, since I never tried it.  Maybe one would have to run
multiple lirc daemons.

For my current setup I specify the device using the
LIRC_DEVICE='name="Media Center Ed...."' syntax.
