+LIRC support for MPlayer
+ written by Andreas Ackermann in 2/2001
+ contact: acki@acki-netz.de
+
+o What is LIRC?
+
+ Linux Infrared Remote Control - use an easy to build home-brewn IR-receiver, 
+ an (almost) arbitrary remote control and control your linux box with it!
+ More about it at www.lirc.org.
+
+o MPlayer and LIRC
+
+ If you have installed the lirc-package, you can compile MPlayer with LIRC
+ support using  ./configure --enable-lirc
+ You should do 'make distclean' before re-compile with 'make dep;make'
+
+ If everything went fine, MPlayer will print a message like 
+   LIRC init was successful.
+ on startup. If an error occurs it will tell you. If it doens't tell you 
+ anything about LIRC there's no support compiled in. That's it :-)
+
+ The application name for MPlayer is - oh wonder - mplayer.
+ It understands the following commands:
+
+ PAUSE  - pause playing. Any other keystroke will continue replay.
+ QUIT   - exit mplayer
+ RWND   - 10 secs back
+ FRWND  - 60 secs back
+ FWD    - skip 10 secs
+ FFWD   - skip 60 secs
+
+ Don't forget to enable the repeat flag for RWND/FWD in .lircrc. Here's an
+ excerpt from my .lircrc:
+
+ begin
+  remote = CU-SX070
+  prog = mplayer
+  button = Tape_Play
+  repeat = 1
+  config = FFWD
+ end
+
+ begin
+  remote = CU-SX070
+  prog = mplayer
+  button = Tape_Stop
+  config = QUIT
+ end
+	      
+ Enjoy
+
