Soitenly. I have a player (Hermit) at the office, so I will just let it random play for a while.

By the way, initial state before playing...

empeg:/empeg/bin# cat /proc/empeg_ir
Valid sequences: 0
Repeated sequences: 0
Unfulfilled repeats: 0
Malformed sequences: 0
Spurious transitions: 0
Missed interrupts: 0
Timings buffer hwm: 31

Edit: Two hours later, all of the values are exactly the same. But I have not used the IR or buttons, really...
