Yes, there are more devices than just IR remote controls that could benefit 
from the infrastructure:
- multimedia keyboards (PS/2 or USB, driven by keycodes)
- USB HID devices (like the 'copy' buttons on scanners and 'snapshot' on 
webcams)
- bluetooth remote controls (there are specal bluetooth devices to control 
presentations, so you would have commands like 'next slide')

I also wonder how it interacts with other IR software: while this IR handler 
is running, is it still possible to receive other data, for example using 
OBEX?
