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.
