Yes, it works with all full-featured cards. You can use the
Hauppauge IR-receiver or any other receiver connected to J2.

Should also work with other /dev/input/event devices (not tested,
as I don't own such bastards).

This piece of code was for the lirc interface of the old 0.9.4 driver.
When I created the plugin, vdr (iirc 1.1.13) could use both old and
new drivers. I think I'll drop this stuff in the next release.
Probably I was the only one who used it, anyway. ;-)
