Let me put my unsolicited €0.02 in. My mindset is pretty hackerish as well, but I'm also an engineer thinking in efficiency terms. The raspi is what it is, and it is a nice building block for many jobs. If I wanted to build a vdr, I'd either let the raspi run permanently (given its low energy demand) or get a Pico PSU powered mini itx board with an embedded CPU, like one of the low-power (4.3-10W) celerons, and let it wake up and shut down when needed.
But that's just me.

Thank you. This is a user space solution, with the benefit that it is not limited to Linux. I think that it would be good to mention this at https://www.linuxtv.org/vdrwiki/index.php/Raspberry_Pi and perhaps also add some pictures.
That page currently mentions a minimal IR receiver for the Raspberry Pi: a 3-pin IR receiver module connected to the GPIO header. Because the Linux kernel already includes a number of IR protocol drivers, there is no need to install any user-space lircd driver (or input plugin) if you are using a recent enough version of VDR.
