I thought so. FYI: a sane RC5 decoder doesn't depend on exact timing. Even seen a multi-function remote can control many different devices like TV, VCR, DVD and so on?

There is no such thing as "being supposed to be used with PC".

If you want such setup - why not?

Then keep it that way and let others use what they think is best for them.

That could be the case if you were limited to "or". But we can do both. -- Krzysztof Halasa -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
