Creative Soundblaster Live!Drive IR

I'm using a Creative Soundblaster Live Platinum card which is shipped with the Live Drive Frontpanel and a remote control.
Does anybody know a way how to set up lirc so I can use the IR port on the panel to get my remote working with it? I've already set up lirc to run with an adapter connected to my serial port. But I don't know which port is used by the Live!Drive. I've set up lirc using the howto from the wiki but now I don't know which port to choose for recompiling lirc. Does anyone have an idea about this?

Thanks a lot!

Re: Creative Soundblaster Live!Drive IR

Ahh yes, from my hazy memory the livedrive ir sends signals to /dev/snd/midiCD0 or something like that..... Though in my experience compared to other ir devices the livedrive "key press" rate is very slow so your way better off using another solution.

I'll have a look at one of my old installs later to give a much better answer and get back to you
