Have you checked with the mode2 program whether something is received?

licr wants to use its own driver lirc-serial for the serial port. For
this this you either have to deactivate the port with setserial or
compile the standard serial port driver as module and load the
lirc_serial driver before the standard driver. It is only allowed to
have one driver active on the port. I don't know xmms and xine, but you
should check whether they can use lirc for remote control.
