I'm not the author of the drivers, I only took them from the lirc cvs, and make them compile under 2.5/6 series kernel. AFAICS it should work also in-kernel, but I can't try because I can't set bttv in-kernel, my card isn't autodetected. (Also, bttv author suggest to don't compile bttv in-kernel, so depending on bttv, this driver should be compiled as a module too).

This is a port of the drivers from lirc project (http://lirc.sf.net/), I'm not going to rewrite it, also because the support for lirc in user software is present in many programs, like xine, xawdecode, xmms (with plugin) and so on. The lirc_client library is simple and flexible, and the project is consolidated, i don't see the need to change it, also because can be a problem for backport in the 2.4 kernels. -- Flameeyes <dgp85@users.sf.net>
