Well,
I've had a little time to work on winlirc recently. Anyhow, the guys at streamzap donated me a remote and gave me a dll which I could used to interface their device. The dll basically allows you to see the raw signal, but it had some critical bugs in it which meant, even though in theory the hardware could be used with a bunch of other remotes, because of this bug it couldn't. It would still work with some, but things like signal repeats were broken. I found the bug and reported it to the streamzap guys, but they never got around to fixing it. Anyhow, I decided to skip their dll totally, since it is flawed and talk to the hardware directly. But since there is no example code of how to do this I had to do it entirely from scratch based on nothing. Anyway, after a few hours digging through the registery and looking at the assembly of the dll they provided, I've basically worked out how to talk to the device directly, better yet I've already finished a working prototype plugin for it lol.
