do you think it is possible to use this or something else with an non root user?
Well, only the LIRC_PRIORITYBOOST option requires root privileges to work. If you don't have root privileges, you'll just get an error logged and the LIRC thread runs without any change in priority -- that's all. See man setpriority for details.
An option would be to lower priority of all threads except this one. I guess only relative priority within VDR is important. You can also raise priority in your init scripts (nice=-N), before running VDR. This way every thread will have nice=0 priority, except the LIRC one, which will stay at nice=-N
